Yesterday, there was a woman who asked me for money and said she will leave her daughter with me as a guarentee
And return back with money in the evening, by borrowing from someone else.
It was the strangest offer ever. I had women before who would ask me to keep their jewelry when they borrow money as a guarentee/mortgage.
Of course I refused. I either help or don't help. Middle shady dealings annoy me, and bizarre ones even more.
It made me think of the thread I made about debts. Like where is the line drawn? Isn't mortgaging a house also jeopardizing your child's safety a lot of times? A step towards dehumanizing them? Living in the streets robs you of everything you are and have.
It also made me think of how my parents tried to throw me in an arranged marriage when I became too difficult to victimize. And how him being filthy rich was part of the reasons.
This poor child has to live with a stupid parent who thinks it is fine to do this like we are in the ducking middle ages. It is different, but it feels pretty much the same.
Le sigh.
I think I am going to do something for myself today to clear my mind. I have a lot to think about. Maybe also make something delicious to eat later at home.
