About Me: Male, 50, Gainesville - FL, member since Mar 2008
I had brain tumor surgery in June 2003 i was in a abusive marriage I ws abused for over 6 years I was then homeless on and off for several years My own family put me in jail for Domestic violence I didnt even hit anyone i just had an agreement with my dad he sent me to ... [More] jail 3 times i finally got out and I came back to Florida I had 2 trespassing charges here to deal with so i turned myself in I was drinking before that homeless In marietta Ga and they put me in a state mental hospital for 3 weeks during Christmas that year they got me a bus ticket to Florida, the VA here got me off the street and then into VOA housing and finally in the Apartment I am in now I live alone in a Homeless supportive living program through the VA here In Gainesville, Fl they check on me there 2 times a month and I have a Case Manager at the VA i go to  a Substance abuse and Mental illness Program I am Bi Polar, I have Osteoarthritis in my Hip and my back I also am still recovering from a brain Injury from the Surgery I am still able to live alone here, I had a female roommate but she moved in with her boyfriend she is 32 and we were friends only but we were close friends not now that she is with him he wont let her see me much at all, and I am trying to make new friends she was my only Friend best friend and I loved her a lot as a friend, I depended on her too much when she moved in with him I was in shock for a month, I had brought her a laptop computer and I took her in off the street and helped her and now I am not good enough for her so says her boyfriend, She is not working so she has to go buy what he says That's why I need commit a girlfriend I am a really nice guy but sometimes I am kind of dumb about women I guess, But i know what i am looking for in a friend and a lover I don't want just a best friend whom will run off on me I want a lover/best friend who will be there for me.
