you do sound stressed out...you have multiple things going on to stress you out....is it possible to go to your dads place to stay with the dogs until he gets out of jail? google family resource center for your area. if there is one, they can help you get your food stamps/Medicaid straightened out, at least that is what we do here. and by all means, if you need to go to the hospital, go. that is more imporatant than any of those other things. your mental health comes first. take care.
