I am so sick and tired that everytime things start looking up and I seem to start heading in the right direction, I get another dam bomb dropped on me!!!! I am a single Mom on disability trying to raise a 13 year old son on $66.00 worth of food stamps and my disability check and now my trailer park wants to raise my rent another $45.00 a month!!! I mean where the f am I supposed to find that?? The richer get richer and the poorer get f'in poorer!!!!! I don't know how the hell I am supposed to do this!!!! it really has me freakin out!!! I am wanting to throw away 34 freakin days and all just so I can feel some freakin relief!!!! even if it is only for a second or 2!!! F it!!!!
I hate it because when things like this come up I really consider begging my soon to be ex to come back because at least then I wouold have his income also!!! I can just make myself deal with more of his porno crap and give it to him when he wants it because at least that way I know I can pay for a roof over my sons head and food in his belly!!! I have got to get these stupid ideas out of my head because I almost killed myself a year ago thinking I had not way out!!!

I've been through some rough times, but your situation sounds difficult. The best advice that I've received is that time heals all wounds. I think that if you keep your mind to it, you will find a way. I always use to want to give up on myself. My family and friends didn't let me and now I am in a better place. Good luck to you and try not to give up, there is always another way.

Sounds tough I'm sorry to hear you're going through that. I don't know much about being on disability and how long a person is on it for or how much they pay... but could you try and get a job doing something that works with your disability? Something you can do while your kid is in school? The only other idea I have is (and I'm sure you've already thought about this) but perhaps cutting back on buying things that are non necessity items. So obviously the new increase in rent is going to be a necessity, is there anything you spend $45/month on, that you don't HAVE to, that you could instead use to pay rent with? Even things such as cable, internet, and cell phones... they are all extremely convenient and nice to have but they are not absolute necessities. Being on a budget is hard I know... but just think of ways you can possibly earn an income or cut back on what you're already spending. That's my best advice. Hope it all works out.

I'm sorry this is happening to you. I have no advice but I have a hug for you. Life can be so hard.
