Haitian man dies in US immigration custody with untreated toothache, brother says

PHOENIX — A Haitian man confined at an Arizona immigration detention center for months died at a hospital Monday after a tooth infection was left untreated, the man’s brother said Wednesday.

I'm not expecting this to really get any engagement, but... I recently found out we had SEVERE untreated asthma, not just mild (we had to blow into a Hydrogen Breath Test machine a BUNCH of times before they even got any results, so we almost couldn't complete a LACTOSE TEST), our mother just conveniently decided we'll outgrow it– it's been getting worse and worse and we still have to BEG both of our parents for them to take it seriously...

Told all this (and some more things) to our childhood best friend and he first asked if he can get her jailed (to which I insisted our younger sister still lives with her and she treats her better so no) and then he told me it's horrifying that it is just LUCK that we're still alive (still have no rescue inhaler, just prescribed control meds that barely help) asked how we're still alive, and all I could say was "...honestly? No idea."

Fun stuff /s

I think it's hilarious. She actually thinks he's hers. That she thinks she actually got him to cut me off. Saying all this sweet shit, he says it back (Which makes me suicidal but that's not here nor there). But at the end of the day, he spends close to 10 hours on the phone with me. He constantly tells me he loves me, like he can't stop saying it. He sleeps in my bed on weekends. He gives me his hoodies. He fucks me. He looks at me like I hung the fucking moon. He'll never truly love another girl. He may not say it, but he needs me. He's going to get bored of her soon enough. Then I'll stop being his dirty secret. We won't have to use burner numbers or alternative apps to talk. She'll be gone and we'll be happy again. I'll be happy again. I should feel bad. I know I should. She's genuinely in love with him and he has a certain degree of feelings for her, he wouldn't be reciopacting her flirting if he didn't. I but his heart and mind will always belong to me. She doesn't even know it. They aren't dating so it's not like he's cheating. Regardless of him being my ex, we are still best friends. We don't even tell people we are exes so as far as she knew, I was just his girl best friend that she fell intimidated by. I guess she was right seeing how he lied about stopping talking to me. She'll never understand the love me and him have for eachother. She's just an obstacle in the way of true love. I'll make sure he realizes that she's nothing but an inconvenience. I've already planted the seeds. Showing him that I'm better. That she won't love him like I do. That she's manipulative (I mean telling someone to cut their best friend off? That is manipulative) but maybe I am too, but at least the things I say are the truth. Gabby, you tried to take him from me, but it's not going to work. He will always come back to me.

Here's the thing. You can't self care your way out of a lack of medical care.

Protip! Crying is a very cathartic experience, and if you have untreated depression, you may want to do it regularly to release pent-up emotions
