Well...if you're already a month behind and your income is less than your expenses, you would eventually be living there for free, I would think. While it's tough on them if they can't make the rent, you really do need to put your own situation first. Move back in with your mom until you're on your feet again - tell your room mates that you'll be able to live with them again once you have income enough to cover the rent and your other expenses. It is hard to disappoint people, not doubt about it. But it's way more important to take care of your needs first. Lots of positive vibes coming your way and I hope you can get this sorted out soon.
