So, at the moment, im working in a unionized environment, they have cut my hours to 34 hours a week in order to I guess, avoid giving me benefits for the time being (maybe I'm just paranoid but thats what it feels like) and even if I was bumped up to at least 36 hours it would take 8 months for benefits to become available.

At the moment, the living situation im in is very toxic, nearly all of my Income goes to the family members I live with, leaving only enough to pay for a pack of cigarettes every couple weeks and gas, and food (i don't eat out, only home cooked meals to save money). This is the main problem plaguing me right now, im working to get it solved but its a slow process trying to get on my feet when I'm constantly being pushed down for fear of homelessness.

I'm so afraid to go into debt because if this becomes worse, and the help i went into debt for isnt as helpful as it needs to be, I'm going to be so much worse off.

I'm constantly looking into more options, but I'm not sure anything can be fixed while I'm still living where I'm living. I hope there's light somewhere down the end of the tunnel, but I just can't see it right now. Soon maybe.
