Homeless... suddenly

I'm so close to schools end. I don't want to take time off. But, I guess I may have too. I'm going to talk to the school social worker tomorrow if she is there.

cher the homeless shelters only take in so m any people at any time and only for one week so then where is dismal grin supposed to go or do? better to find family that will take you in permanently until you can figure out something else.

Yes, my mom is very aware of my situation, but she is convinced that it is all in my head. She is convinced that she is doing the right thing.

I'm staying at a motel while I wait the passing of the holidays. Then I'm going to check into a homeless shelter. Hopefully I can find one that specializes in dealing with disabled veterans and it won't be as bad as the regular city shelters.

Yes I live in the US. I called the Housing Authority today and they said they were all full up for at least 3 months, but more likely it will be 3 years. I am going to check with the churches and homeless shelters tomorrow to see what is available to me until I can get together more money. I also have my car insurance due next month so a large portion of my money needs to go to that and I hope that I will be able to maybe file taxes based on my school attendance. If I'm lucky they may decide to give away that 2,000 dollars to everyone that attended school this past year again and then I could pay a couple months up front to an apartment until I can get a job and all that jazz. Straighten out my income a bit.

You find out any government assistant that you can get. The churches should be able to help you with that. Get food stamps, help with electric and water. There are organizations that help with those, and there are also food pantries and clothing pantries. Ask the church to find those for you. You're in my prayers!

That would be something I could have done if I was under the age of 18. But, since I'm a legal adult I can't. However, I could have sued her for not giving me a 30 day notice of eviction and she knows it.

Thank you for the well wishes. I had to pay for the food in my mom's house while I was staying there and she wanted me to give her 400 dollars for rent. I laughed at her and told her that was a no go. Seriously, who pays 600 dollars (that's combined of food and rent) to sleep on a freaking couch in the main room of the house with no privacy whatsoever? I had my teenage siblings friends walking in on me and gauking and laughing at me for being fat when I was trying to get dressed. And my mom never would do anything about it she laughed at me too... it was horrible in and of it's self, but at least it was a roof over my head while I saved to get a car, saved to get it legal, saved to pay the insurance again... save to spend, save to spend when you get so little money that is the story. The end was in sight I only had a few more things to save for and then I could get out. But it didn't work like that. Now I'm trying to find that place to live.

I don't how parents like yours could care less about your welfare especially you're a girl. I am hoping that you'll get one the soonest and figure out a job that could give more than enough so you can also save for your emergency needs. I know you're a student which adds more pain into making a move. My prayers are with you.

I am on a sort of welfare. Disability I developed Borderline Personality Disorder after I got out of the Air Force. It started out while I was in there as Major Depressive Disorder and just got worse over the years since I got out. That is another thing that my mom and I don't see eye to eye on. While I'm trying to rehabilitate myself I recognize my limitations. I also recognize that I lost my disability during my move home and have been without medication for a year. It makes it even harder to try to hold down a job. And boy have I tried. Last year I had a job for less than one day... a few weeks ago I had a job for 2 days. I need my medication which the insurance will not go into effect until December 1st. I can work for 9 months and still receive my check during that time, and I'm going to try that if I can get a job. I hope so. My training is as a medical biller and coder which is a career I chose because it is possible to work it from home, I do a lot better in that type of situation and it makes it possible that may kiss disability goodbye forever if I get that type of work.

Hello Deewaker, my mom lives in a two bedroom apartment. My 15 year old sister has one room and my brother and other sister share the other. My mom and I were sleeping in the livingroom and yet my mom wanted to charge me 400 dollars rent... plus she wanted me to buy 200 dollars worth of groceries. She was resentful of me whenever I spent any money on myself. I would buy myself separate shampoo and she would yell at me for being compulsive with my spending! It's best this way, I just have to figure out what to do. I wish my mom could be a nicer person... but I know that she just won't.

I know why I was thrown out. And even if I went back it would just happen again in a week or so. That's the kind of people my sister and my mom are. They look for stuff to set a trap under you and when you get mad act like you are some sort of dangerous person and feel self righteous about it.

In large part it is my sister who has been lying to my mom about me. It's so much stuff built up before I got wind of it that it now means my mom is grasping at straws to prove that I'm a bad person. It's really bad when your mom tells you she doesn't like you because your fat. And yet my mom told me this yesterday.

Yes I had hoped that maybe my boyfriend's mom would recognize the seriousness of my situation (I really don't have any other friends) and allow me to stay with them until I get back on my feet. He doesn't make much money himself and has to pool his money with his mom and uncle so they can all live together. She didn't though. She is very old school in her belief that a couple shouldn't live together until marriage. Grrr. Maybe she will let me stay for the weekend at least. That's not living together, that's spending the night! Lol

Well, her reasons were not really founded. She thought I was beating up my sister because that is what my sister told her and she refused to allow me back in the home. She threw away all my mail and every gift that I had ever gotten her over the years she had tossed. I have my own place now and I'm very careful that neither she nor my sister knows where I live because I don't feel safe around them anymore.

Lol, thank you Janus... it sounds like you have a better life over in England. I've thought about moving to England or France. Our healthcare is so bad over here.
