[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 110832, member: 3647"] Agreed, agreed, agreed. I went from a DV shelter to a homeless shelter to a transitional housing apartment with Tink when I had nowhere else to go. I have a brother who could have housed me and my daughter. That is an awful lot to ask of family, especially family that you have not spoken with in a long time. This may sting, but you and your son are not your brother's responsibility. My daughter and I are not MY brother's responsibility. I would not ask him to stay. He lives happily in his place and to ask him to put us up with no job prospects is asking a lot. That is asking him to completely change how he lives his life. He created his life to be lived the way he likes to live it. He does not want to have to change it, and as bad as I feel for you in your situation, I don't blame him. I try to look at both sides. I am content in my home living life the way I like. If a family member asked me if they could move in, I'd have to say no too. There are many MANY resources for single moms. Get on a waiting list for transitional housing. They might be able to assist you in finding employment as well. One last thing. The pride you feel after coming through this all on your own is unparalleled. [/QUOTE]
