Wow- I need to VENT!!!

As some of you know- I have been staying in the basement of my daughter and sons apartment for a little while- since the holidays.

I was evicted for the first time in my life- in June from a rental house. Had lost my income. Medical bills piled up and so did utility bills. I put what I could in storeage, sold stuff, and gave alot away. Even sold many of my pets.

I went from camping out in the country in July, to living in my car for awhile, to living in a garage after that for a couple of months till it got too cold, and in Nov. to the apartment where I am now.

Some ASSHOLE narked to the office of this apartment
complex that I was staying here with my pets. They told my daughter when she paid rent- that I had to move out and could'nt
stay here. Even though my daughter told them I was her Mom
and had no where to go. They will evict them- if I don't move out.

I am sooooooooo pissed off and have no idea what to do next.
This year sure has gotton off to a really rotton start!
I can not go to a shelter because I have pets. The pets I have now- would never live without me. I can't even find some decent people to give them homes around here. The charitable area organizations here are a joke! I have been waiting and fighting S.S. for some time now. I can no longer hold down a job like I used to- because of my health. I have no income and no where else to turn. I no longer have a vehical either cause it died.
I thought it was BAD when I was having troubles getting my medications... now this!

I am at a lose as to what to do next. I thought I would be able to stay here for awhile longer. Why do people have to be such asses? What ever happened to compassion? This area seriousely lacks these qualities! I am mad at myself too- because I was so busy taking care of everyone else all my life- I did'nt stop to
think about taking care of myself!

I even asked (Heaven forbid) my ex-husband whom is supposedly
friends with me (HA) if I could stay with him temporarily till
I can figure out what to do next! He said NO. (Some friend).

Sorry this is so long- I just really-really needed to VENT!
I am just soooooooo pissed off right now. I can not even think straight! I am a strong person- but geesh a person can take just so much crap you know! My crap limit is way over its capacity...

aww teddy hun thats so awful.some people are just such big kiss ass that they dont realize how it could hurt other people!ill pray for ya hun

Ypu can vent here dear!

hey sorry to hear about your woes
but even the strongest people need to
vent so no sorry was required at the end
hope things get alot better for you
your in all our prayers and goodluck

awww some people are real assholes

it's not capacity....it's crapacity

((((((((((((MsTeddy)))))))))))

I wish I had some concrete thing to say and a magic wand to make it all better. But, you are in my thoughts and prayers, for whatever comfort that may bring.

Just a thought, have you called your local social services? I don't know your circumstances but maybe there's something there that could help.

well i too spent alot of my time taking care of others so i know where you are coming from i am sorry about your recent situation truly..but it if you were to get rid of your pets and i know that will be hard for you would you be able to stay there or find a place to live ..lets face it if you wound up homeless where would your pets stay and how would you feed them you may just have to let them go so that you can take care of yourself first i know thats not what you want to do but it just may be what you have to do ..sorry

(((((((((((MsTeddy))))))))))))))

AWWW Teddy....I know where you're coming from, been there myself. I have been fortunate enough to have a good friend who is letting me rent one of her 5 bedrooms and let me keep my cat with me. I could never get rid of this cat, as the cat and I have been through hell together and it was my son's cat before he died. So I am not so much in agreement with fruits comment.

Vent anytime you want, there is always somebody here that will listen.

Jerkkkkkkkkk Troll!

I reported you bloke!

start by looking up housing fo the aged there are programs out there to help people like yourself put the computer to work by looking for the services..and I know you can get help, you do not want your daughter evicted.Some people can be very hard hearted.pray for them and get over your anger.and get to work looking out for yourself and God will help you..God bless you

bloke 73 if thats the best advice you can come up with keep it to yourself ..i can see with those kind of remarks you are not long for this site and as far as your advice be so kind as to stick it back from where it came

Can you not read? Or are you just an insensitive a$$hole?

insensitive assholes are everywhere, can't escape them

{{{{{{{{{{{{{MsTeddy}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

My prayers are all I have to offer right now........I hope they will bring about some results for you. Vent anytime you need, hunny.

Even without my pets- I can not stay here... Is'nt that some crap!

Soc. Services- have given me food assistance but will not help with anything else. Michigans ecconomy is so bad- I am on a waiting list for medical help and have had to fight just to get my meds.

As for my pets- I have been looking for good homes. There
just are'nt a whole lot of options for them. They will be with me- unless I find some speicail people for them.

Yes Cat- some people do not understand how important our pets are! As is- I had allready sold some and that was so hard.

If my situation was easy to fix- I would of fixed it by now.
I have run into several brick walls. I have explained as best I can about my situation with out writting a book.

I have gone for help only to get a bunch of RED TAPE and NO HELP! I really believe that as far as some of these services
are concerned...
They would just rather I drop off the face of the earth.
It is unbelieveable!!!

Thankyou for your prayers! I really need them.

MsTeddy,
I know how it feels to be under sooooooooo much stress. To have everything thrown at you all at one time. I know that hard times really can kick us in the butt, don't for get tho.
"God says, He will never put more on us than what we can bare." Sometimes when we think he has forsaken us, he is always right there with us. I wish I could give you a (BIG HUG) and tell you everything will be alright. I will pray for you, I know what you are going through. I know in my heart that you will make it through this. Why do good people have to go through so much, to make us stronger individuals. I am stronger from the trials I have been through and I know you will be one too.

MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU AND IF YOU NEED SOMEONE TO LISTEN OR TALK TOO, I AM SITTING RIGHT HERE.

GOD BLESS YOU

I am so sorry to hear of your troubles.

If a shelter is your only option for shelter, it probably is best to find a place for the pets, even the Humane Society is better than them living on the streets with you. An alternative is to place notices up on bulletin boards at local grocery stores, etc. free pet to good home. I found a home for a stray this way.

You and your daughter should contact Social Services, they may have some options available to you that you are not aware of.

Can you apply for low-income housing, if so, do it as soon as possible to get on their list.

I wish you the best...wish I had better advice.
