Many in adult use icq. We are dinosaurs in that way but after years and years we have all our contacts in one place and we don't want to have to move them around mch.
Who to trust is an issue sometimes. I can't give you any decisive answer on how to choose whether to trust or not. You can take some steps though:
1. Search their name on the board. See if they have been called out for scamming or stealing.
2. Once you have one trustworthy person you are dealing with ask them for their pinion of another person.
3. If they are asking you for money, beware, unless it is an actual service that you are interested in that they are offering for that money. In that case ask on the board about the product and the rep of the person selling it to you.
4. Like out on the streets, keep your eyes and ears open.
Now. From what I have seen on this and other boards, you have been trying to get started for quite a while now. It does not appear(from your questions) that you have made much headway. If that is true then you are doing something wrong. Not sure what that something is but the only way I know of to fix a problem is first to identify the problem.
Sorry about what you have going on with your Dad btw. That can be very stressfull so it would seem to me that we need to find a way to make this web stuff be a de-stresser for you. Something that you can look forward to doing. You probably do not need more stress in your life right now (well, I guess none of us needs more stress lol).
