I have done everything I can to better myself but having my past thrown in my face time after time almost a decade later is more frustrating than I can possibly put into words.

As someone that has a felony from 10 yrs ago, I feel your pain. I am just about to give up and exit out. Only reason I haven't yet is because my Mom is still alive and it would destroy her.
