[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 669316, member: 4152"] I have hesitated with section 8 housing because she tends to mimic others in order for people to like her. We live in a rough city. Surely some folks in public housing are fine, but unscrupulous folks tend to find her. She actually is not the type that would be inclined to do something illegal. But, she uses bad judgement and this worsens when around others who do so. I would prefer she doesn't have a roommate because in the past this always blows up. She is quirky, a bit lazy, moody etc. For example, she has a cat and may or may not change the kitty litter for who knows when and it might smell terribly and she will deny that it smells. Other times, she might clean it more normally. I'm not talking anything even remotely like a small or moderate smell, I'm talking about something that could kill a horse. Yes, difficult child lives mostly like a pauper. It breaks my heart. She is on food stamps. She gets items from goodwill...nothing wrong with that. She gets clothes for the holidays. She gets left over food from our meals. She does work very temporary jobs. I actually hope there is tiny bit left over, but I know it won't be much. Housing is crazy expensive here. We need to pay for insurance, homeowners fees, electric etc. and repairs. I need to recalculate, but there won't be much left. I have no objection to her taking what is left. This wouldn't be for any profit at all for us. We just want a roof over her head in a safe place. Drug dealers on every corner was too much. Tanya...I agree, I need to get her to sign a lease. It would be easy to rent...it's an excellent location. I wouldn't love the idea, but wouldn't mind it either. I just want her to be safe. The problem is she can very well be her worst enemy. I'm hoping I can talk difficult child into a monthly social worker...might have to be on my dime. [/QUOTE]
