[QUOTE="feelinalone, post: 136329, member: 4701"] Butterflydreams---sorry you're family is of no help. I've only recently got this help from my sister and her husband and I'm CONSTANTLY in extreme gratitude for it cause I knew how it felt when NO ONE was helping me. I'm so humbled by it...they keep telling me to call when I need them and I start feeling bad cause they're taking on the burden yet going through their own stuff (they're supposed to be getting a divorce! brother in law isn't working and sis is actually staying with-grandma, completely stressed herself with 3 kids...but they both want to help me out....warms my heart!) Everyone else in my family says the "it'll get better" thing too. I hope you find some help along the way, it's so hard to deal with. Dreamer---you have so much experience to draw from! And I once was on the list for section 8 housing years ago. I probably didn't change my address on it when I moved though...I can't recall, but I never got any housing assistance anyway. The wait lists are ridiculously long! I've used " emergency rental assistance" once before from some church when I needed help with rent one month, but you can only get it once so that's out.
