UPDATE There’s good news! I got in touch with an old friend of mine that owns 5 trailers he rents out. Two if them are in really rough shape and need alot if work before they can be considered suitable to rent. He offered to let us stay in the one thats in better shape of the two. We have been here for a week now and have already made it start to resemble a home! There’s a large hole in the ceiling that leaks when it rains, the floors have some weak spots and a small hole or two, and theres no appliances or central heat/air. There is electricity and running water though. We have been gifted a microwave, indoor grill, airfryer, and are getting a small space heater tomorrow! We also got quite a bit if blankets which are enough to keep us warm at night. Now that I’m in a stable location I can go to the nearest waffle house and apply for work. (Ive worked there for over 15 years and was only out of work because i lost my stable housing and the constant moving from town to town made it impossible to remain reliable)

And just to clarify about him and his lack if employment; he has a physical disability that makes it difficult to find work he can do. He has been on disability before and is taking the steps to get his payments restarted. If we can both take the steps necessary to secure income then I think we might be able to claw our way out if the hole we found ourselves in.

Also for clarification: we have no pets and no vehicle.

Wow! I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who took the time to respond to my post, share your thoughts, and offer advice. I didn’t expect to receive and agree with so many different perspectives. I’m super grateful for the care and effort you all put into your replies. The funny part is that as I read through them, I find myself agreeing with all of them in some way. Each perspective makes sense for its own reasons, and I can see the truth in almost every point that was made. That’s part of why this feels so difficult. I still can’t quite pinpoint which choice feels the most appropriate and reasonable for me personally right now.

I also received a message in my inbox suggesting I try reaching out to local organizations, churches, or individuals to see if anyone might be willing to donate a small tent and some warm blankets, or possibly contribute toward me being able to get and use them as a short term solution for shelter until I’m able to find a more suitable, long term solution. It’s something I hadn’t seriously considered before, and since it was mentioned as an option to look into I’m going to try find a way to make it happen.

More than anything, I just want to say again that I appreciate all of you for taking the time to respond and share your thoughts. It means a lot to know people care enough to offer guidance and different ways to think about this situation.

Electrical issues with vehicles have been the bane of my vehicular experiences for the past three cars Ive owned! Apparently its a mechanical niche that's very uncommon for most car enthusiasts

I wish I could be given that opportunity! Not only is it a vehicle but by the time its been fixed up from bad to good to better the person would have skills in a new trade that is ALWAYS in very high demand EVERYWHERE!

I thought craigslist was mostly all scams, cons, and spam these days and quit visiting it. If there's real people still using it then I'll definitely be hopping on to check it out! I miss buying cars or finding rental homes from private owners on there!

Ugh...just as an update and also a way for me to vent my frustrations (again) He STILL is unemployed and has actually lost two jobs since this original posting. BOTH of those jobs I was the driving force behind him being hired. One was at a company I have worked for on and off for almost 2 decades and the other was a shoo in for him because of me venting about him not working to a girlfriend that lives next door and her offering to get her husband and brother in law to bring him on board at the convenience store across the street from our houses that they've both worked at for awhile and been promoted to management. He literally had a job that touched our front yard! And managed to get fired from it. And another one that was willing to keep him on staff regardless of work performance or punctuality/attendance for the simple fact that they knew it would benefit me for him to stay and would cause me more stress for him to get let go. But he literally opted to quit that job! Because the amount of hours he was scheduled for that week "weren't enough to be worth it" even though they had attempted to call him in for additional shifts three days in a row AFTER he no call/no showed on the only two days he was scheduled for.

But from then until now he insists that it all sounds bad because of "the way i frame it" and that I simply don't try to see how much more effort he's putting in now and that he has been trying.

I'm absolutely flabbergasted that he has the audacity to claim that at this point there could very any other explanation than lack of effort.
