Since 2011, I have spent 1502 nights at the homeless shelter where I'm living now.

That's an exact number; the tally is computerized.

It doesn't include the nights that I have spent at other shelters, psychiatric facilities or outside.

The idea that I am corrupt, greedy or lazy is an absurdity that my abusers tell themselves so that they don't feel bad about how viciously they have treated me for so many years.
