Where is the worst place you have ever lived,either the location like city or the home you lived in? What was the lowest point in your life? After I graduated high school I moved out of my fathers house and into a trailer with my boyfriend,not by choice believe me(thats a long story).I was a few months pregnant and since I am a high risk pregnancy I stopped working when I found out. The trailer we moved into was owned by his grandmother and her deal was we could live there rent free but I was required to do chores at her house in exchange to. My boyfriend had a minimum wage job so he was exempt from doing any work at her house with me. The trailer was a freaking dump. The kitchen floor had no tile it was wood instead,the trailer was probably a late seventys model.There was no heat,no fridge or stove. There was no sink in the kitchen or even kitchen cabinets.The water we had to bathe in came from a water hose that was ran from the barn near the trailer,ice cold year round.As for electricity his uncle had rigged it so that our electricity came from his grandmothers house. All she had to do was flip off a switch near her back door and we were powerless,which she did alot.I recall one time it was near eight p.m. that she turned off the lights on me. I sat in the dark in a trailer in the woods alone for hours. Summer was like trying to sleep in a firepit. The walls in the bedroom were wood and the trailer was nothing but pure metal outside. The only circulation we had was a small fan in the window of our room which ran only when we were allowed electricity. There was no back door on the trailer,just a thick piece of what should of been a door placed over the doorway. I recall pushing it over the hole and nailing it up one day. Also painting the hallway with some old paint I had found in the barn.The bathroom was infested with wasps and the back room had a birds nest in the windows ledge.The only company I had when my boyfriend was at work was an old nintendo with one game,and that was when I had electric to play it. I always got aggravated with the tv because it would change colors in the middle of my game and I would have to start it over.Our furniture consisted of an old couch that was already there,my bed from my fathers house,a tv we got from a friend and a kitchen table my mother gave me.As for food we relied on the local shelter for quite some time. That is probably the lowest point in my lofe and I thank god everyday that I am no longer in that situation and instead I am so much better off. What was your lowest point?

yikes thats a pretty bad situation alright! for about a year..a number of years ago, i was pretty much homeless. i was lucky enough to have a car at the time though. it was a big old gas guzzler that i could probably fit 2 bodies in the trunk and almost lay flat out in the back seat lol! it was not comfortable, no bathroom of course so twice a day we (bf with me) made a short trip to a gas station that had bathrooms, then unless there was something we needed to go to, we went back to where it was relatively safe to park and sleep in the car. the cops would occasionaly come thru and threaten everybody with jail for loitering, but all the other parking lots in town were pay only, which would have resulted in the car being towed if we didnt pay..which we couldnt afford. thankfully times have gotten better!

We went to a camp outside our city.There in the night lots of bugs would come in the room.We were scared it would bite us.so we kept shooing away the bugs while sleeping.The bugs also had a peculiar smell.When we came back home from there.One of the bugs got into the bag and came home with us.
