Ryan,

The idea of subsidized housing never crossed my mind. We do have it here in Michigan, but the waiting lists can be ridiculous. I know you are dealing with a lot, and you are trying to get everything in order like yesterday (just like me - T told me baby steps) but, you are never going to be able to get yourself totally healthy until you can let go of the past, and that means getting the ex outta there ASAP.

MI law says that the actual lease holder CAN file a 30-day eviction on an occupant. (I know you would hate to see it get to that point, but it's something to keep in mind.)

How long has she been with you here in MI? Long enough to make a few friends/co-workers that can take her in (I remember you telling me she doesn't make that much money).

You gave her a time frame, it's come and gone. Now she's just using you. Maybe it's time to get nasty (as we used to say in our unit). I know it will hurt like Hell, but until you get past that chapter of your life, you won't be able to fully concentrate on getting yourself well and that should be what's most important. Take care of Number One.

Hugs and much love,
Jenn
