where do I go to find out about low-income housing? I've been sick, anemia from "female" complications, I was in the hospital for 3 days last month. I didn't have sick leave and I was left with a tiny little paycheck that left me with 32 cents in my checking account for the week up to the next paycheck. The anemia is making me so tired and having trouble with my memory and concentration...my next check wasn't much better. I've had 2 doctor apts this week and 2 more next week -- all with copays and deductables. I've been living with my mom who has been making me feel like an unwanted guess and told me that when she let me move in she thought she'd be "making some money" from me. I haven't been able to give her any rent this month. I'm sick of feeling like a burden and feeling like I'm unwelcome to live here (even though, I might add, that my sister who is 38 has never, ever lived on her own and she rules the roost around here). I can't deal with this. I don't have any money, I can't bear the thought of giving up my dogs but my kids' therapist says they've been telling her that they're struggling living with my mom and my sister and I, that they feel they have 3 mothers telling them what to do and we all tell them different things and so on. I feel like a burden and like I'm making my mother miserable. I bought groceries at Target because I had available credit there (if you can call cheese and crackers and milk groceries). I need to get out of here but I don't know how I possibly can afford to move. I don't know what to do, I'm working full time, but the wages are awful. My doctor told me that I shouldn't consider looking for a second job until the anemia resolves. I'm scared and sick with guilt over making my mom unhappy but I don't know any way out.
