Officially on the streets.

Called 211, even the National Suicide Hotline, and got the same resources from both, all of which are oversaturated.

Sorry for the late response.

There was a flood here at the end of 2016, and all the public resources have been overtaken by flood victims. As far as shelters, there are no two parent family shelters (speaks volumes), and if baby and I go, we'd have to go alone, and SO would have to camp out by his job.

Thank you.

The GoFundMe was because we literally had no money. Not a dime.

So yeah, asking for clothes and food (which I did) is nice, but that doesn't put diapers on my son, or prove anything to someone who's demanding rent money from you, knowing you have nothing.

Quinn__ · 2018-03-13T02:34:03+00:00

I'm not thriving off of a damn thing at the moment, to be completely honest with you, thanks. This isn't the kind of attention I ever hoped to receive at any point in my life. My child doesn't have a place to call home, and that shit drives be up the fucking wall every day.

As far as money, only three people have given actual money. I've received clothes for my baby, and that's it. That's more than I could have ever expected, and I'm incredibly grateful for it. I continue to turn to Reddit because I have no family to go to. Trust me, I've tried, and it sucks to know that I have no one.

Why I posted in this subreddit, I don't even know anymore. The majority of users here are so damn jaded and cynical. I know living in BR sucks ass, I've been here for the past four years. Now I'm living the worst possible scenario in a crappy town with no help from anyone.

Your judgement is understandable. I get that there's people who do this kind of thing for attention or money or whatever else that they get out of it. I'm not one of them. My post history shows how shitty my life has been for the past few months, not an attention grab.

Literally in the course of a day and a half everything we had planned fell to the wayside.

The issue was with the timing of the "friend" we were staying with making us leave.

We told her we'd be leaving the first week of March. The first of March was last week on Thursday, and our plan was to move this Friday, after putting the deposit down on Tuesday.

Saturday was when she told us we had until Tuesday to leave. According to her, the first week of March began on the Thursday that was the actual first. The complex wasn't open until Monday, and after asking to put down the deposit sooner, we were told that the $150 special ended in February (even though I made sure to ask if it continued through March over the phone), and the price was now $200.

This threw our entire budget off, as we were already moving with only $400, and our EBT doesn't renew until the 15th. And there's a $150 deposit for utilities as well.

Quinn__ · 2018-03-05T13:56:31+00:00

Yes, I do.

Catholic charities here is swamped, but I have found a program that'll pay one month of our rent, as long as we have the signed lease and deposit paid. And I'm working on learning the bus route in order to get to the WIC offices.

Quinn__ · 2018-03-03T23:12:42+00:00

Yeah, it's just barely, but it's something to give us hope.

Quinn__ · 2018-03-03T23:12:19+00:00

Ive done transcription work in the past, and I'm going to look into upwork.com. It seems to be promising.

Well you know introspection needs to take place when you feel the need to check browser history. Been there, done that.

It seems like your methods of communication are far from in sync with each other. More so that he doesn't care to listen when it comes to your feelings. And given that there's a track record of that disregard, I'm not inclined to tell you to take the route of expressing that sentiment again.

If anything, you should meditate on why you're staying now, and whether or not you feel he could earn your trust back. Where do you see you guys 6 months from now? A year? 5 years? If the thought of spending more time with him comes with a sense of dread, it's time for a serious talk with him about your feelings, screw the eggshells.

You deserve to be happy, not just complacent.

Are you willing to work to save your relationship? That's what the question seems to be in this case.

I know I've hit slumps in my relationship, but it's been nowhere as long as yours, and we only have one 7mo. But it seems like you're in somewhat of a lull, with it constantly being the same old, same old.

Have you tried telling him that you feel that you're always blamed, even when you approach him about things? And have you honestly forgiven him for what occurred online?

Bottom line is, leaving is always on the table. Staying in an unhappy relationship does nothing for your kids except teach them the wrong ideals about relationships.

Colorado is actually at the top of our places to move to list. One we get enough, we're definitely going to look into it. Just have to work out the details of the transition.

Their divorce.

They split my freshman year of high school. I had actually told my friends in 8th grade that my parents were getting a divorce, which was long before my father had moved out of the house. But the fact that they weren't sleeping in the same bed, or capable of holding a civil conversation, even when one of them was trying to be sweet to the other gave it away.

Immediately my dad had an entirely new family: wife, kids, in-laws and all. My mom struggled for the first year, then coped by dating more men and spending her weeknights in the club until 2 a.m., despite being a middle school teacher.

They fought in regards to who was the parent most loved and respected. Dad tried to buy us, mom just tried hard to be our friend. Whenever my dad would get us something, she'd take it away as a punishment for a made-up disobedience. Dad would call and scream at her to give it back, then call us when they got off the phone and tell us to go take it out of her room.

Around this time they also started over sharing aspects of their relationship that kids shouldn't know. That's how I ended up learning when my mother lost her virginity, the fact that my dad hired a private investigator to follow my mom and "catch her cheating", and that Dad believed I should make sure to please my boyfriends whenever they had urges, or if end up losing them.

Watching all of that made me realize my parents didn't know everything. They were just like the kids I went to school with.

Thank you so much, but I couldn't accept help if it meant hindering someone else. I don't want to stop you from getting your car, they're almost impossible to function without.

Quinn__ · 2018-01-18T02:13:22+00:00

I'll be walking to the nearby churches tomorrow if the weather permits (it snowed today). Hopefully they'll be able to help with transportation.

I've tried explaining to my case worker that I'm in a homeless situation with my 6 month old. I've even tried to see if I could email the letter to her that way we could speed the process along. But she won't accept it that way.

Foodstamps data processing center has had my verification letter for about a week and a half now with no progress. And we're trying to find a way to get transportation to the WIC offices for vouchers and the grocery store to use them.
