‘Rescued’ a young borderline from about 300 km away, had her here for 3 weeks, made her a weight blanket, and put her on a bus. I met her in a group on here. She tells me it has made a huge difference to her, and has declared so rather embarrassingly publicly. She is a lovely young woman.

Probably scared her into getting her shit together!

Sarah Johnson Lovely! Now that’s making a difference. Saw a paranoid schizophrenic yesterday at work and I’m like so ‘what’s the start, auditory or visual, what’s the worst?’ They were so relieved that I understood. He was in so much pain. There’s me, trotting about doing shit. Just do shit, Vanessa. X

Sally Cat I don’t automatically follow rules; as others have said, I question their validity. As a child, we were very poor and I was repeatedly told by my parents that I could not have stuff I wanted. These things were almost always things my peers had, and I felt an overwhelming need to have them too. My mum got stressed by my stress and angry when I begged for stuff, as if my wanting it was a crime. The more she told me I COULDN’T have these things, the more my PDA drove me to avoid the demand of NOT having them. In retrospect, I think I was also hit with unrequited peer pressure. My life felt like a bleak, bereft desert. I wanted the things I couldn’t have more than anything else in the world. In desperation I resorted to shoplifting. I found the stealth and danger thrilling and addictive, but maintained a moral code. I decided that it was ethically sound to steal from big business chain stores because they could afford the loss, but vetoed stealing from small businesses.

Mud Wildcat Yeah, in Glasgow we call that ‘The gangster Code’, Sally, LOL.

Sally Cat I was a gangsta by heart as a kiddy wink, LOL.

Vanessa Haszard Isn’t it funny, I was pressed to steal a pick’n mix lolly and went back and returned it, but thought nothing of pounding on someone who teased me about being fat.

Sarah Johnson I was stealing (in my knickers – melted chocolate, nothing worse) from the age I could go into the shops (around 7). But if I saw a nice person who gave me love…I couldn’t. The co-op? Easy pickings…getting arrested at 15 stopped me, but not because it was wrong but because I wasn’t prepared to take the consequences. Now I don’t steal because I know most of my victims or I don’t want to get caught and I have money for things I really want.
