[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 677641, member: 16024"] ((((hugs)))) I am so sorry that you have to go through this. One of the hardest parts of dealing with our DCs is even knowing whether and what parts of their story to believe. Our Difficult Child has told outlandish, unbelievable stories....some of which have been found to be true, some untrue, and some partially true. Mostly, there is no knowing whether there is any truth to them or not. One thing is for sure, though, ST: there is help for her through Social Services, possibly through Legal Aid, if she chooses to reach out and accept their help. She will be bumped to the top of the "list" for housing if she is homeless/getting evicted and has a young child. This would be considered an emergency situation. food stamps, medical, cash, utility assistance, schooling, job training, childcare, etc. is available to her as well. I have a good friend in the local community college that helps displaced homemakers/single mothers with getting a degree and services. I know your daughter is attending college classes right now, so she could reach out to them for help with getting to classes, childcare, etc. They often have a host of info that she may not know about. One other thing is true: she needs to learn that she can't expect and depend on you for help anymore. It really hasn't helped, anyway. Time to try something else. Please take care of yourself, ST. We are here for you. Apple [/QUOTE]
