Helpline...

I’ve finished my training and gotten past having my calls monitored at Family Lives...on Thursday I had my first solo calls and it was both exciting and frightening.  I worry that I’ll do something wrong and will end up breaking someone...I’m happy to report that didn’t happen on Thursday.

My biggest and baddest call last week was a woman in her mid 30s who has a 7 year old daughter who started being violent towards her a year ago.  Nothing traumatic happened to the child around that time...I found myself starting to judge her as a bad mother till she told me what she’s done to help her daughter.  She’s consulted with the school and found there is no change, her GP referred her to be tested for ADHD and anything else that might be affiliated, and she has a referral for CAMHS. 

Mom has had to put locks on her doors to keep the daughter out while she’s sleeping...it’s escalated to a point where she no longer feels safe.  Fortunately her parents help to defuse the situation and take the daughter themselves when things are getting further out of hand. 

I have to say I’m shocked at how I jumped to judgement on this woman...it was a great lesson to me regarding judgement.  I had judged her and the reality was she was a caring woman who sought any help available for her daughter.  She had done all of this knowing that social services may have intervened and taken her child from her. 

I hope I helped her as much as she helped me...she allowed me to see a weakness I thought I had under control.

Thank you call number 1.

Omg I love your hell-p line idea, would you mind if I did a little something with it?

Holy shit, thank you!

I wouldn’t mind if you did! But I do have more to it than just that text post (well not much but...)

If you check out my hell-p line tag there’s everything I ever posted about it!

dude i would watch the fuck out of the demons helping people better than angels movie that is a hella rad idea. I love things where the angels arent always necessarily good cause most sins arent bad and shit and im rambling but your movie idea is rad and i like it

haha shit, thanks! 

Man if I could I would totally at least make it a web comic. I mean I can do the char design and some promo shit, but I can't comic AT ALL. I'm holding onto this idea though, it would be a rad opportunity.

To think about it, it would kinda be like R.I.P.D. some guy dies and gets send to hell, and it turns out he's been chosen to be an on call help demon, whose job is to learn from his partner how to help humans out with their problems. 

At first he hates it, why should he help these guys out for eternity? And then he learns how great it is to see these people who are in bad places get help, and how happy they are that he's there for them.

And maybe there's some huge angels VS demons battle going on or something, like 'bruh don't touch OUR souls' 'BRUH U FUCKin SHUNNED tHAT GUY BEcAUSE HE WAS PRAYING FOR HIMSELF AND NOT SOMEONE ELSE. You TAKE CARE OF UR SHIT WE'lL TAKE cARE OF OUR SHIT GTFO FEATHER BUTT."

And yeah.

About the good demon getting you home safely post... Wouldn't you have to kinda sell your soul? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nah man! That would all be gross propaganda from the angels to ensure you get punished, or to make sure no one strays from their light. Like the demons will usually protect those cast out from the higher religion, and even help those who are in the angel’s grace who aren’t getting the right help or whatever.

It would be totally different and neat like bruh.

Like you could be having a panic attack, or be scared to be home alone, and all u gotta do is call the Hell-p Line or do some summoning ritual and there will be a demon there to help you get through it, or be company, or help you leave a situation. 

Or maybe you're being mistreated at home, and you can call up a demon and they'll relocate you somewhere safe and keep an eye on you.

Movie where demons are actually help for those ignored by the angels. Like you could be stuck in an alley way about to get mugged and u just draw up a summoning circle and a demon is sent to save you and get you home safe and maybe buy you a hot chocolate.
