Its been almost 3 months since dh and I split up. My grandpa told me I could rent my uncle's old trailor from him because I really needed a place to stay and had very little money. Now we are living there and it completely sucks. We have fleas so bad that I can't even take my kids there because they jump on you the second you walk in the door, we also have a mouse, the electricity surges so much that it caused my brand new dryer's motor to bmess up, and the hot water heater doesn't work. Right now I am spending the night at my mom's house because things are so bad at my house. I don't have the money to rent a decent apartment around here, and I can't very well continue to live in the place we are currently in. DH lost his job, so he can't even send cs, and I don't know what to do. i get a little over $600 a month from SSI and CS for my son, so I haven't had to start working yet, but it looks like I don't have a choice anymore the problem is, I don't know who will watch my kids, my dd has special needs, so I really don't feel comfortable leaving her in daycare. Ideally I could get a family member to keep them, but I don't know how well that would work out. I never really realized how good things were finiancially until dh and I split. Amyway, thats all. This realy sucks.

Oh mama
I'm so sorry you are going through this. Can you look into the housing authority in your area? See if there are some low income (and safe) places to live? Or do have any other family/friends that can help you?

I am sure things will start looking up soon

Between the rock and the hard place...totally sucks! Good idea on the Housing Authority/Section 8 thing. Seems like social services might be willing to bump you on priority since you will probably have a hard time finding care for your dd.
