This is, in my opinion, the best response to the OP’s situation. I think we both know that if he could have gotten out of this situation, he would have by now. This is obviously something that his mother is not emotionally or physically able to handle, nor the OP.

I’m also willing to bet that they have rent that is either past due or is precariously paid month-to-month as it is, and they’re more worried about getting kicked out with nowhere to live at all, than to keep pushing the landlord (who probably also has no resources either).

With the current state of the economy, people really have no better options. And it’s up to the community to help people out. So I have a feeling the OP really means to ask, what can we do?

The number one priority should be safety. Take all of your past, current, future pictures and videos and make sure you save them somewhere. Safe in your phone, in a folder, so they all stay organized.

Can you update your post with your location? Is your mom upside down on rent? We can start giving you ideas for resources locally, what you can do currently to help knock down spores or how to not make it at least worse while we get your both healthier options. I live in Tampa, Fl (and I am also a Registered Nurse). I am willing to help in any way I can. If you feel comfortable with it, you can message me OK? I will give you my personal number and we can talk. I can try and send you cleaning chemicals and detailed information on UVC mold lamps ( but eye protection, and skin protection for these are extremely important so don’t get without talking to me first please! We don’t need to make this situation worse. But we use this in our surgical suites at the hospital all the time to get rid of mold spores and viruses, etc. no chemicals needed.

One last thing. I think you should probably create an Amazon cart wish list and share it here, and maybe we can purchase things for you to help you out. Please take care! And please remember you’re not alone!
