Appreciated. I helped as best as I could, until I had to rebudget spoons, but things were, I think a little better by then, and I believe the situation has much improved since then. Not sure if it's up to ideal standards, but ... [shrug]
>>In this case, that's complicated by the fact...<<
Easy, focus on supporting him. Have someone to help with housework and obtaining food and making appointments and whatnot.
There was a Peace Something group mentioned in the notes... it being Terramagne, they'll probably do a decent patch-in of extended family, and I know from working with refugees that they tend to develop decent suppourt networks as much as they can.
>>You should write it. :D. <<
:)
I already have some parts written, I'm just stalled a bit with making background characters and sorting a few plotlines.
(And I've been stressed for a few days; not helpful.)
Then I get to go through again to make sure my characters are interacting consistently with their characterization... and conflicting with each other properly.
That particular part... I've already got the bit where the Teen Hero Who Steps Up To Care For Ailing Relative*...gets told the adults will handle it, he's already helped enough, his parents are so proud of him, and he is still helping (age appropriately) just by building healthy relationships while still having his own life.
*I am so tired of that narrative! Hence the aversion.
Of course they then need to hire people to help, and they might have to get creative because backstory makes some of the issues Outside-Context Problems.
