He wants to hire me as a talent scout when I leave rehab, but is willing to pay for my recovery home once I leave rehab. According to him he's "Dummy rich, an anarchist, and was saved by someone in the same way" in the 90s. Can I get fucked over by accepting this dude's help?

I have 3 bands that want to sign with them. 2 of the 3 bands agreed with me to not sign with them if I don't get hired. (They're amazing leftist comrades.) But considering I can't even leave my room without being yelled at, any improvement is a plus. I know he isn't using me for sexual favors, it's been done before to me and isn't triggering any warning signs, I think this person just genuinely sees my talent as a music nerd as an asset, and st worse is still offering a job that can pay for a legit house.

it sounds like you've got good instincts and a support system in case things go south at all, in which case, I'm wondering why you're hesitating?!?! this sounds fuckin amazing

Because I'm a victim of extreme abuse and any help is scary to me lmao

💔 oh. that makes perfect sense. I'm sorry.

you deserve help and support just as much as anyone else, and I hope you can find a way to feel safe enough to accept it
