		<description>Speaking as Tressas most recent girlfriend sorry to say but Tressa is far beyond repair. I have been with her for six months and the girl has no concept . Her family has belittled her to the point that she thinks she holds no worth. Her existence consists of stealing, whoring herself, shoplifting, pick pocketing and taking from her inner circle.

Upon meeting Tressa I was drawn to her raw honesty and need to get out of Nebraska. I flew her
to Long Island for a fresh start. I wrote letters to District Attorneys so she would not do jail time for shoplifting 
and a possession charge . 

Within three weeks Tressa&#039;s step mother ( the woman who her father had the affair with ) had liver complications, was on life support . It was a no brainier, I was raised Italian  Irish catholic, I flew us there .  

We arrived in Omaha Nebraska 14 hours after we got the bad news. I really felt good being able to be supportive and was there to watch Tressas back. From outside the hospital I felt a nightmare was to begin and it did. I threw myself into the middle of the bible belt and had no idea how much ignorance , selfishness , and abuse could be hide from even A &amp; E&#039;s writers.

Before Tressa and I entered the private room her step mother lay - Tressa visited the ladies room just outside and shot up .


I need not go further but to say - I am writing a book which will be available shortly as an ebook on Amazon .
My Life  with Tressa Thompson - The Bible Belts Gateway to Redemption .

		<description>I met this Tressa chick last year in Canada. Does she have any morals what so ever? 
All I see is a washed up druggie who could have had anything she wanted. Now what is she ? She is worn, sleeps with anything and god knows what diseases she has.

All sluts have diseases , this is a major punch board, yuck!</description>

		<description>Your so full of it , I saw that picture of you on Facebook after a recent bender . You look horrible and the drugs have really taken a toll on you. You used to be such a pretty girl but now you are all wrinkles and look so tired.

Maybe you should put up that pix on here so people are reminded of what meth can do to a person . Maybe if they see the damage you did to yourself this year, they might not pick up. 

I know the pix is on the Internet but not everyone knows to google you and look for the images ..

		<description>Calling yourself Catholic and ignoring the teachings of the church is like standing in a garage and calling yourself a car. I agree that no one ought to condemn this young woman and I HATED seeing how her parents did just that (despite the mom getting remarried, which Jesus says is adultery..but I digress). But I get so sick of salad-bar Catholics giving the impression that living an actively homosexual lifestyle is something to celebrate. It&#039;s not. We can love these people and there is no need to bash them with &quot;you&#039;re going to hell for this sin,&quot; either. Once they decide to live that way, it&#039;s their choice and between them and God. But really...stop giving people the impression that it&#039;s okay to be Catholic when you&#039;re actively encouraging people to act sinfully. We&#039;re called to love...and love does mean judging, condemning, OR encouraging them in sin. It means praying for, respecting, and helping the person, NOT their disordered sexuality. </description>

		<description>Tressa - Your looks are gone, your options are limited to straight women and low life&#039;s. Wigger comes to mind, is dad proud? Take a look at what you once were , keyword being were.

Your a  lier, a user and  basically a drug addict who is grasping for crumbs. You represent yourself as famous on Facebook and your a joke to most everyone following you .There is actually now a meth YouTube video featuring you and your progressive decay over the last three years . Stay off the Internet girl - why must we all see you distroy
yourself.

I pity you and those  you leech off.

		<description>Codeine is made from the dried sap of young poppy plant seeds.Humans have been making various drugs and compounds using the poppy plant for thousands of years.  Some of these uses are medicinal, while others are spiritual or recreational in nature.  Whatever the case may be, people have become tolerant to and physically dependent on many different opium products.  This includes codeine addiction, and as the second most common alkaloid found in opium, it’s likely that this trend of dependency and addiction will continue until more effective pain
management techniques are discovered and implemented.

		<description>I&#039;m so bothered by people who take the fiction offered in the bible and ruin lives with it. If you insist on following superstition, then keep it to yourself. Your make-believe god is YOUR god, not anyone else&#039;s. Everyone has their own idea of what creator awaits them in the mythical afterlife. One of the tenents of recovery is righting wrongs because they are wrong, not because they offend a deity of some sort, and it&#039;s only Tressa&#039;s business how she handles that. One thing at a time. While I love your positive attitude, I can&#039;t stand the idea of throwing mythology into it. I certainly don&#039;t wonder what Zeus thinks about my life. </description>

		<description>People can be so cruel, I applaud Tressa for her uplifting personality &amp; strength. I would have to think that those of you who are posting these negative comments have never known anyone who has suffered with addiction. Addiction is very much a disease, &amp; for those of us who are fighting this battle, it is wonderful to see someone like Tressa who has the strength &amp; persevarance to admit her weakest moments, &amp; rebound. I imagine many of you who don&#039;t know the part of the country we live in would be astounded at the way people judge others and are unwilling to forgive the past. I saw Tressa yesterday at a local basketball tournament, what a wonerful person she is. She spent time playing with some of the kids &amp; even took the time to bend down &amp; talk to my 2 year old daughter. Shame on those of you who post these awful comments, how&#039;s the story go...don&#039;t judge lest ye be judged?</description>
