I decided to post another life update journal, in case anyone who is still interested exists.

Things have, as expected, only went from bad to worse. My physical father seems to have completely stopped sending me money. In part because his situation isn't the best either (although not as bad as mine), in part because he no longer cares about anyone or anything and shows worrying signs of losing his sanity. Telling him I'll soon be unable to pay my bills or even buy food now causes him to get offended, as he apparently sees no big issue in that. After an unjustified rage response he sent me, I don't think we'll be communicating ever again. Mind you, I am not upset at my father because he won't send me money, but because of his broken understanding and his delirious behaviour against everyone around him... including my recently deceased grandmother, who he's sworn to hate even after her death because she gave me one of her houses, while having the nerve to also accuse me of having abused her (the exact reverse of how things happened).

During the last weeks, I've been further looking for ways to make a living online. As I might have mentioned, I'm not considering a job in real life due to my mental condition, which I seriously don't even want to dive into right now. It appears I might be able to make a small income around Second Life and the Blender 3D community, while I'm also pondering taking 3D commissions... but for now not even this is certain. The race is to get something working before I lose electricity or am left homeless, and I'm no longer sure even of that. My mother sadly makes this even more difficult, since although she knows about my issues she expects me to find a solution in time... and I totally can't blame her for it, I simply don't know how.

My biggest hope remains Patreon. Last night someone was generous enough to offer my channel its first ever pledge, which gets me hoping but is still far from enough. As I mentioned in my last journal on the subject, my Patreon only charges per project update (currently per animation and eventually game release), which especially now is not more frequent than one or a few months... meaning it's safe to pledge in case you wish to help. If you choose to, that would sincerely be very appreciated.
