"The link you put in. I had already decided that I might try asking them about this situation. Now I just have to gather the courage to go there. (Which is another issue.) On a day when I can use the car, since I am not the employed one and that gets the priority. I do not have any expectations about it. I have plenty of misgivings."
Phone or email before to try to flush out if and how they might help. So you have some assurance that there is a decent chance of something fruitful occurring.
You have had enough disappointment. Don't want you making that sort of effort to go there only to get blown away in 5 minutes after making that trip.
What about the Minneapolis gay community?

I'm not gay but my first gay rights cause was in 1973. They're wonderful people to be around. As a group, to me, they tend to be a little brighter, seem more artistic, have more than average compassion and tend to be progressive. They have a great sense of humor and are fun. My wife socializes with a gay group that one of her store employees belonged to. She's had a blast with them. Still does.
Minneapolis gay community are tapped into people who might be able to help you. You won't be the first they've helped. They probably could "understand the help" you need.
You've had a very tough time. I'm sincerely so sorry for that. I've been down this road with people before for a variety of reasons. Everyone is unique and different. But too often we get bad results and those don't just hurt the person who was suffering. It's a loss for a bunch of people. We have to leave no stone unturned. I was giving you a kick in the butt because I don't want you miss out on something. I want you to get every chance to recover a decent life.
