Even if you were not struggling with your own challenges, this situation would sorely tax your psychic resources.

Can you obtain assistance (personally, I think you need help to confront the situation you face)? Washington State 2-1-1? Washington State Department of Social & Health Services (DSHS)?

I really wanted to apply for benefits but unfortunately, if I tell DSHS that I pay rent, my family's benefits are put in jeopardy. If I don't tell them I pay rent then I make too much money to get help. It's a pretty awful position to be in. I'd love to get a therapist, but the cost is out of the question and transportation is very difficult in a small town when you have no car. =[
