What can we DU now to help TTW and Yoshi ?

372. I certainly don't recall any reference to a job at a pharmacy,

and I've read through all of the earlier threads multiple times.

What stands out, to me, is her complete defensiveness against the entire world. Her blaming of everyone else but herself that all of her problems are caused by others.

I have likewise done what you call stop gap work, and all sorts of entry level work. Entry level jobs really aren't that hard to find. If you're willing to do them. Even my brilliant astrophysicist son has worked fast food. And a year or so later, when he went back to the fast food manager for a reference, the manager clearly indicated he would happily re-hire my son.

One way you get these crappy entry level jobs is to make much of your work history disappear from your resume. That's not very hard, although it doesn't seem to occur to many people.

I may be wrong, but I don't think TTW needs a good case manager. I'm not sure what she needs. If there's medication for her condition, that would be very helpful. Except that all evidence indicates she would not hold still for an appropriate diagnosis and prescription.

Sometimes people are really are beyond help. I'm sadly afraid that's the case with TTW. It's even sadder that Yoshi, a genuine innocent in all this, is going to suffer.
