This Friday night started of as any normal Friday would.
I gathered by music kissed the wife and kids goodnight and headed out the door.
I made my 25 minute drive in, stopping for a sixer on the way.
Upon arriving, I had to come in the front drive because the back one
was blocked by people in line.
Ten-fourtyfive and the parking lot was already full, with a line wrapped
halfway accross the parking lot. Busy night.
Walking in the door, one of the security staff says "Hey, there's some
girl running around looking for you." I figured it was some regular
trying to score some V.I.P. wristbands. When I passed the first bar
one of the bartenders told me the same thing. It sounded like she was
making the rounds of the whole club looking for me. Now I was curious.
I dropped my gear and beer off at the booth, talked to the radio
folks for a second, and made my way to the patio for my first shot
of the evening.
On the way out, someone grabs me. It was the mystery girl.
-"Lisa! Hey, what are you doing here?"
Lisa was an old friend of mine and my wife's. When we lived in
Cordova, she was our neighbor, or more, her mom was. Lisa was about
14 when we moved in, we were in our twenties. We watched her grow up.
We moved out right before she turned 18. She always had some kind of
drama going on. She is 23 now.
We were some of the only positive roll models she ever had. She had
no father figure of any kind. She had one sort of responsible older sister,
about 15 years older, and another older sister that was crazy as hell.
The crazy one had always been in and out of trouble. She had prison boyfriends,
drug problems, and had worked at just about every low class strip club in town.
Lisa, never had an easy time of things.
Enough background, back to the story....
+"I heard your name on the radio, and I wanted to come see you!"
-"Great, it's good to see you...blah, blah, blah"
+"Blah, blah, hey can you get me a drink?"
So I get here a drink and keep talking for a bit.
It ends up she's broke, had no car, and recently quit stripping herself after 3 years.
Sha asks me "can you give me a ride home tonight? I came with some guys I don't
really know, and I don't trust them to get me home."
-"Sure, but I play until 3am. Is that cool?"
So the night goes on, she gets more and more drunk.
She's in and out of the DJ booth all night, asking me to play this and play that.
Around 2:30, she starts asking if we can leave.
-"No we can't. The club doesn't close until 3 and I have to play until then"
She's in alchohol induced tears, sitting in the floor of the booth.
She gets up a couple of times and says she's leaving. I ask if she has a ride,
and she just turns around and sits in the floor again.
So we leave at 3, and she says she's hungry.
I stopped a Krystal on the way, there's a line and she's impatient.
When we get to the speaker we are asked to wait, and she starts yelling.
I told her to shut up we'll get the food in a minute. She start talking about
how terrible her life is.
Finally with food in hand, I take her to her apartment.
It's pretty sad. It's a tiny one bedroom box with a coffee table, air matress
, a little TV and a butcher block of knives in the kitchen. No Telephone.
As she starts eating she start talking crazy. She then showed me the scar on her wrist
from the last time she sliced it. It was cut in the right direction.
I can now see where this is going.
Then came the sucide talk.
I tried to calm her down for about half an hour.
She walked out and went banging on a neighbor's door. It was about 4 am.
Of course, no answer. I really wanted someone to come out cursing so could
share some the responsibility of the situation.
After a while she got frustrated and told me to leave. I told her that
she needed to just get in the bed, pass out, and call me and my wife in the morning.
She said she would.
I went home.
Laying in bed with my wife, the phone rings.
I missed it. My cell phone rings.
+"I did it. I think I went to deep. There's a lot of blood."
-"where are you?"
+"The Circle K gas station"
-"Call 911"
+"NO! I'm getting the cops here! I can't deal with that again!"
-"Call your sister"
+"I can't"
-"What do you want me to do?"
+"I don't know I thought you guys cared" Click
She hung up.
I tell my wife about the whole ordeal.
='What are you going to do?"
-"I don't know. what should I do?"
I called the gas station.
*"She left. She was drunk and bloody as hell. She tried to buy cigarettes
But I would sell them to her without ID. She said she'd be back with here ID"
My wife said,
="You're not going to be able to handle it if some thing happens and you didn't
go back out there"
-"You're right, I'll go"
I drove to her place and upon walking towards here apartment I see drops of blood
on the walkway, and a puddle in front of her friends apartment.
No answer at the door ov either apartment.
I walked up to the Circle K and ask the attendant if she ever came back.
She didn't.
I left a not on her apartment door to call me and went home.
I got home, and went to bed at 7am wondering what happened to her.
Should I have called the cops? Was whe with her friend? Was she in a bloody
heap in here apartment floor?
About 11:00 my phone rang again.
It was her oldest sister.
/"I have her. I'm calling to let you know she's OK. Thanks for trying to help her."
I went back to sleep.

i'm also thinking along the lines of if she's so needy in the first place any helping hand might be seen as an open door and she'll walk right in. this is horrible but it's kind of like if you feed the stray she would just keep coming back. instead of getting real help she might use his pity/charity as crutch. he didn't mention anything about really helping her get on her feet. he bought her some food, gave her a ride home, and checked in on her. nothing was in there about really getting her out of her current state although he could to that in time or maybe he just didn't mention it. ilike putting a bandaid over a broken rib- a good gesture, but in the end useless.

My definition of 'help' sometimes appears quite brutal on the surface - I believe in handing out a verbal beating to people if they can't see what it is they're doing to themselves. If you're perpetuating the unhealthy situation that someone is in then you're not helping them - it's all about helping someone to help themselves, not fixing everything for them. I think the reason that more people don't do this is that it actually entails becoming involved - you can't just palm them off with a sandwich and then fuck off.

i think the main reason i bring up contact with his children is because she found him. they didn't just run into eachother and he didn't hunt her down. she searched for him at his place of work which means she'd probably have a good idea of how to find out where he lives and just show up there. he probably wouldn't introduce her to his kids unless she was stable, but she obviously knew how to find him at work and i can't see how she wouldn't be able to find him at home.
===
But then your position doesn't make sense. If she already knows how to track him down, it is just as likely that she will turn up on his doorstep whether he helps her or not so he's not gaining anything by not helping her.

gotta admit arguing about it kills time though.
personally, if my babymama (goddaughter's mother) turned into a crackwhore, i'd have no compunction about calling the cops on her and taking that child somewhere safe. she's one of my best friends, but the kid comes first and i'll be damned if i let that go to help the mother before the child. i think the individual with the greater vulnerability and less ability to do things for themselves is the one deserves and needs more compassion, help and safety provided.

maybe you really are willing to risk helping this girl.
===
Have done before in a similar situation and would do again. There are plenty of ways to help people without bringing them into contact with your children.
The world is full of things that could potentially harm your children. You reduce the risk of that by making the world better, not by burying your head in the sand. We cast people aside far too quickly and the climate we create with it comes back to bite us and our children. People are allowed to make mistakes inion - I'm all for personal responsibility but you need an equal measure of empathy with it.
I suspect the sensible answer is somewhere in the middle ground between our two viewpoints.

You think age makes such a difference to people's ability to cope with the world? Why are people no longer worth looking out for when they hit 18? Perhaps if people had been looking out for her a when she was younger she wouldn't be in such a state now, but fuck her, she's a lost cause, right? Fuck her, because she should be able to pull herself back together on her own despite the fact that she is obviously not thinking rationally.
-----------
i think it's interesting you said this. it's true, if people had been looking out for her when she was younger she probably wouldn't be in this situation. however, looking out for his children so they don't end up like her should be first. it does matter if you're an adult or not. and she's not 18, she's 23 according to this. this is not fresh out of highschool. yes everyone needs help but no one has the right to dump themselves drunk and sobbing in someone else's lap. that is completely her fault. if she's not going to do something about that then no one else should because no one else can. because she is an adult she does need to be able to pull herself back together. she needs to be self-reliant. if she can't realize how fucked up she is and go and get the help she needs then it won't matter what anyone else does for her.
How would getting her professional help mean that she is going to show up on his doorstep weilding a knife? You're extrapolating to the worst possible scenario and treating that like it's a guarenteed consequence of showing anything more than a fleeting pang of compassion for someone else. And there wouldn't be as many of those "horrible things" in the world if people actually thought of others instead of abandoning them under the self-satisfied defence of "they're adults, let them sort themselves out"
------------
i didn't even say wielding a knife. i said bleeding profusely. i don't think she'd hurt anyone else physically, but that doesn't mean i don't think she wouldn't show up on his doorstep in a drunken haze holding out her latest cry for help or failed suicide attempt. it's not a guarantee that she'll do that, but neither is it a guarantee that she won't. with kids involved you do have to look for the worst and try to prevent that in anyway you can. it's like most likely your child won't be kidnapped and killed. that doesn't mean you shouldn't let it enter the realm of possibilities and do nothing about it.
Once again, who is suggesting he bring her into his home? Are you incapable of functioning outside your own apartment? Jesus, if you don't give a shit about anyone else, then fine, but hiding that behind children is fucking shameful.
------------
it is not hiding behind children. hiding behind children is holding up a baby if you're getting shot at. thinking to yourself, well this girl is very unbalanced, she has tried to kill herself at least twice that i know of and she's got an alcohol problem, so this is probably not someone i should allow anywhere near my children. she obviously knew where he worked, why wouldn't she be able to find out where he lived and just show up?
she drank herself into a sobbing mess, that is her fault no one poured the alcohol down her throat. she let people who were practically strangers bring her to a club. that is her fault and a stupid mistake. if someone is a belligerent, sobbing mess when they're wasted once, chances are that's how they are nearly every time they're drunk. she quit stripping. i'm going to guess by the general state of her life that stripping was the wrong path for her. she didn't have to do it. and there are girls out there who do strip out of preference so that was HER mistake. if she was that hard up she could've gotten three normal jobs instead of one that would be damaging to her.
she is not a child. she needs the same protections everyone needs but if she's making the wrong choices then that is her fault. there are other ways around everything she's doing and she's not taking any of them. i mean christ if she has no car, she's probably riding a bus and those are loaded with ads for free clinics of all sorts, psychological included.
maybe you really are willing to risk helping this girl. hell i probably would if i gave enough of a shit about her which he seemed to. but as far as hiding behind your children this wasn't a case of a pathetic excuse to not help someone. if you have no one relying on you for safety then fine do what you want. if you have someone's life in your hands that you are uniquely responsible for because you created it then that comes first. the duties of a parent are not trumped by compassion for your fellow man. if they are, you are a bad parent. you can show your children you care in ways that don't involve possibly endangering them.

Had I not heard from her sister the next day saying "I have her", I would have been back out there again trying to help her. Her sister basically told me that she had the situation under control.
It was the responsible sister.
Just because I said that I did not want to have to deal with this, does not mean that I would not if I had to. Who would WANT to deal with this.
If I were single and/or did not have kids, I would intentionally get more involved.
But I'm not, so if I have the opportunity to step away AFTER I know that a family member that loves her has, I'm going to take that opportunity. It' a family matter now.

That's fair enough dude - my remarks are more prompted by other people's comments than yours.

so doing the smart thing would be handing her off to someone who can actually help her instead of someone who has the safety of others more important on his mind. a shelter, free counseling, some charitable social organization that would know more about getting her help then he would be able to on his own anyway.
===
Fine, I've got no problem with that. He's not doing that though, is he? And that's not what the majority of the comments on this post suggest he should do. It's "GET AWAY! FUCK EVERYONE! UNSAFE! UNSAFE!" in that peculiarly american "nobody deserves anything but me" and "lets imagine the worst possible scenario and then panic about it" way. It's fucking harsh dude. It seems people will go out of their way, hearts bleeding, for a dog but another human? Fuck 'em.

it is not his responsibility whatsoever to protect and heal this girl. she is an adult, she may be a fucked up adult, but she is still an adult and even with an insanely shitty past that doesn't mean she's not responsible for herself now.

Everyone needs a little help at some point in their lives. Everyone. I'm not saying he should take her in and baby her - maybe what she needs is for someone to sit her down and tell her to sort herself the fuck out, I don't know. But I know I'd at least try.

his own children should come before anything else even if she was treated like family before. he is not responsible for her actions and he should NOT be thinking of her before his own actual family that he is responsible for protecting. "protecting the children" is not pathetic. if you have an children in your life that you give a damn about you'd see that they need the protection. if you don't think they do then look again at the world around them and all the horrible things that they could see and experience that would destroy them. maybe she won't slice herself up in front of them. however, she obviously has no qualms about slashing her wrists and walking out into public domain so who's to say she won't show up at his doorstep bleeding profusely?

having a strung out or drunk mentally unstable girl with a tendency to mutilate herself is not something any responsible parent would bring into a home. that actually constitutes endangering a child. this isn't being overprotective or sheltering them to the cold hard truth. this is maintaining a safe environment for them to grow up in.

Hiding a lack of compassion behind "protecting the children" is pathetic. Why does getting this girl some help automatically mean she's going to show up on his doorstep? Either she already knows where he lives in which case that is a possibility anyway or she doesn't in which case he just keeps her in the dark. A does not follow B here. There is a tiny possibility that his children will ever get involved but a fucking huge one that this girl, who he suggested he treated like family earlier in the post, needs some assistance.
But no, you're right, it's better that he teaches his children that other people are worthless inconveniences and that they should happily shirk responsibilities with convenient, scaremongering, and improbable excuses.

There are some really fucking cold people on this site. Washing your hands of it is not the honourable thing to do.
Although mentioning honour to someone who apparently doesn't think anything of drinking and driving is pretty retarded.
----------
washing his hands may not be honorable to her but it is protecting his family. he has more to risk than just his own safety in helping a psycho. he said he had children. maybe his wife could handle it, but the children should not have someone with suicidal tendencies showing up on his door step. i doubt allowing your children to be traumatized by a live suicide attempt would be considered an honorable thing either.

I couldn't get past the fact that you DROVE to the club, had a "sixer" on the way, then had shots at the club then DROVE home... what are you? Fucking retarded?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
um, no. I never said that I DRANK the sixer on the way to the club, because I did not.
If you read the rest of it I said that I dropped of my gear and my BEER at the DJ booth.
I never had a drop of alchohol until I got to the club.
I keep a couple of beers in an ice bucket under the booth. I always end up taking about 3 of them home.
So AFTER I got to the club, I had about 2 or 3 beers and 2 shooters over a period of about 4 hours.
I always stop drinking AT LEAST an hour or more before I leave to drive home.

Ah poor lass. Wants somebody to take care of her.
It's the weird thing about girls when they're in that state; they can find a decent bod to look after them but they can't stay with them. Every story I've heard about women in those states have revovled around their infidelity and general efforts to destroy their relationships.
At least that's how it is with the pretty ones. Do you know what? I reckon pretty young boys with issues must be the same. It's only the horrid boys and girls who probably gain the perspective, wait, no; self loathing to really unconditionally pledge themselves to a relationship.
So when you really think about it the horrid ones are lucky because they can develop servile natures to sustain them through life, and of course the person they're with wins as well by having someone to service they're every need even if that someone is a bit minging. Pretty people would be hard pressed to develop that kind of sensibility wouldn't they? I mean they'd just expect more, people would expect more from them.
Whoaw. Knowledge.

You've done what you can.
Time to wipe your hands of the situation.
YOU will never be able to save her and when you are asked to and you fail ... it will always be with you.
Walk.
Quickly.
-------------------------------------------------------
Believe me, I know. I do care about her well being, but I can do nothing for her really.
I really want to be 1000 miles away from this.
She's in her sister's hands now. I hope that's where she stays.

I have a friend who somehow became the subject of some suicidal person's attention that reminds me of this.
We knew it was a plea for attention but this person, we'll call her Amy would call my friend whom we'll call Kelly at all hours claiming that this time it was for real and that she had taken these pills, drama ensured.
We were all in high school at the time so imagine having to deal with this kind of shit when you're 16 years old. Eventually parents got involved and Kelly hid out at my house for a while so Amy couldn't find her. I went to a different college than they did, but apparently this went on for a number of years.
No one came out and said it at the time, but we thought / think that there were some latent lesbian issues going on there with Amy that Kelly, being a straight teenage girl into guys, did not reciprocate.
It was pretty messed up because you don't want to be taken advantage of but no doubt that if Amy had actually pulled it off, Kelly would be pretty fucked up about it in a survivor guilt sort of way.
good times
hey thanks for the memories

I have nothing to add except that this is a really fucked up situation that you probably have not heard the end of.

Is she hot? Maybe I can help her, I dig girls with low self esteem.
