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

๐Ÿ’” oh. that makes perfect sense. I'm sorry.

cuddle cuddle cuddle cuddle cuddle cuddle

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

Yeah ignore my first comment. You have leverage in the situation and they probably see you're connected with people they want to connect with.
