Has anyone here faced homelessness, and really struggled, and fought hard to try to keep their home? Were you successful or not? ... How did you do it, and do you have any tips for any of us who are facing the same fait? I fear I will lose my home soon, and it crushes me at the core... Any ideas or suggestions to help. Thanks, - DNatureofDTrain

I have been facing it for months. 2 months ago I was living with my parents, doing my mom's job while she recovered from a partial hysterectomy and keeping up the house. When my parents started putting pressure on me to pay more and do more, and I knew at that rate I would never be able to leave and would always be under their thumb, I moved in with my boyfriend temporarily. His sisters started a bunch of crap last week, and kept convincing him that it was too early to live with me and that he should put me out, and it turned into a nasty fight between us and between his sisters and I. All I can say is that I have a roof over my head right now, but I'm trying to get all the money I can together to find my own place again so that I don't have to live with people and be subject to their whims. It's hard, and I'm making some serious sacrifices (I'm selling all my Christmas gifts and a lot of other things), but I know once I'm out and can breath again it will all be worth it. Hang in there! Could you maybe find a full or part time job in the outside world.. even a part time job should surely pay better than MyLot. Then you can look into moving into a shared living arrangement with roommates and get your life back on track.
