Yeah. I keep my driving to my grandmothers or the grocery store, even driving then makes me anxious.
I'd have to do it.
We each have a vehicle and then there's the work vehicle. He'd tow one and I'd drive the other.
No other way to do it. I'd have to suck it up for one drive. Last time I drove I broke down crying.

Poor you. So who got you a new car when you smashed your other one into someone when you weren't paying attention? What's it like driving on muscle relaxers and pain killers? Hopefully you don't not off!

If you are only home one week out of every month and you hardly drive, why do you need your own car? Can't you and the boyfriend share a car? The money saved could go towards your new apartment.

Hence why I said I don't drive, clearly I can plan if I need to drive.

Are you talking to a therapist to help you deal with the PTSD?

People have to suck it up every.single.day and deal with FAR worse things than you have. Does the self-pity party never end for you?

You are not special. You will not be able to coast through life playing the poor me card. Get clean. Get a job. Get insurance. Grow up. Pay your own way. The taxpayers shouldn't get stuck paying for someone with a "disability" who is out seeing Rushmore, enjoying campfires on the beach and having the "time of her life" on our dime. It takes a lot of hutzpah to try and sell yourself as disabled when you are out enjoying yourself sight-seeing.

I've had my car since insurance gave me money for a new one.
His truck means a lot to him but my car is the safer vehicle, plus his is stick so if I HAD to drive it I couldn't.

Lol on YOUR dime?
That's hilarious. I've gotten to go all these places because of the job. The job pays for it.
The only reason we got to see Mt.Rushmore is because we were in the northwest and had to go to SD. We drove right past it. It would have been stupid to not stop, which we only did for like 30 minutes. We went and took pictures and left. Everything I've gotten to see has been because the job. My disability wouldn't pay for us to travel. It would pay for MY portion of our bills.

That's ridiculous. Sell your car and learn to drive stick or sell both your car and his truck and buy a safe, automatic vehicle for you to share. Having two cars in your situation doesn't make sense financially. I thought you were anti-materialism anyway? Your boyfriend should put finances, safety a budget and your future ahead of his love for his truck.

Tell me... Without the taxpayer dime, how could you have all that time off to travel? The taxpayers dime would allow you to not work, not pay your own way, and therefore have time on your hands to travel. without our dime, you couldn't do that.
