[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 197300, member: 84"] MB My Mom is the same way, and it is a control issue. Which is why I'd rather be on the street than take money from her. And have been. Ok, so I stayed in a shelter for 5 months, but it's almost the same. Pawn shops can be helpful in emergencies but won't give you squat for anything as far as it's real value. How about a huge yard sale? easy child and I've made up to 1000.00 a weekend that way with just baby stuff ect. (I'm still amazed at stuff that will sell) Churches can be an amazing resource for housing, transportation, food, and jobs. Maybe they could put their heads together and help you come up with a solution to fit your needs or take the pressure off you in other areas that would help financially. And usually all they ask in return is that you sit a sunday or two in services, and don't have a cow if you don't follow thru. Community action groups can help alot with utilities and such. Here they'll pay one of each utility bill a year, and they want you to make it the highest one. It stinks your Mom won't give it to you when you've never given her a reason not to help you when you're down and out. Most especially when it's not a stretch for her to do so. These are one of the rare times I wish I was loaded, cuz I'd send it to you in a heartbeat. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
