I had to go weekly until I started college and then around grandparents. My parents and brother stopped going weekly when I did which seemed just unfair. He’s very religious but in a different church now

I understand completely. I wouldn’t leave the house if I didn’t need to buy groceries and I hate interacting with people here. Not famous, just reclusive. But I know that one bad fall or illness could kill me if I didn’t have that daily check in
