[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 646302, member: 1550"] Don't beat yourself up for your decisions. You did the best you could. If you are on SSDI you could get housing. I still recommend getting your own support system. I had to do it. I had no supportive family either. How close-minded and old fashion of your brother, but he is what he is. Sounds like you are very depressed. Maybe a personal therapist would help you a lot too. There are county mental health centers t hat do not require a ton of money. I pay a $3 co-pay when I go yet my therapist is very good. As you can see, the stress you are under is making you feel terrible. There are ways out, even on SSDI (which I am on). Talk to your caseworker. Tell her the truth. We have to be willing to ask for help or we won't get it.I still think the domestic abuse center is a good way to go as well. Living with a drug addict is a recipe for abuse and your husband is abusive too. Lots of doctors and university medical clinics take Medicaid and Medicaid covers almost everything. At least in our state you get Medicare and Medicaid if you are on SSDI. I'm sorry you are going through this garbage. It is time to put yourself first and make a life for yourself, even if you have a struggling child. Most of us on this forum are trying to do just that. We have 0% control of others, but 100% control over ourselves and our own decisions and choices. We are free as a bird to decide our own futures. Lots of people on SSDI, like me, have good lives and some even work part-time or volunteer. The upside of volunteering, besides the new friends you make and the knowledge that you are helping others, is that you can choose which jobs you are able to do and which ones you can't do. You an go to school and read with little kids. You can go to the humane society and spend time wit the cats, helping the socialize. This just requires being there and petting and brushing them. If you can drive, you can take people to medical appointments. If I were you, I'd rather rent a room in a private home, which should not cost much, than stay in that loony bin you call your home.
