i have been in a similar situation many times in my life, in fact i have lived on the streets. Don't give up hope. Cry, you will feel better, but do it when you have your meds, cause it usually gives you a headache immediatly afterwords. Just Pray and believe that God is with you and amazingly enough things will work out.  Your mother sounds a lot like me and i still am a sucker for people in need when i have nothing myself.  Don't expect her family to help, they won't.  But you just keep plugging and there will be a light at the end of the tunnel.  Just remember God is with you and he will never give you more than you can handle, even if you think you can't.

God Bless and don't give up!

I am an unemployed medical transcriptionist, with an ADAS with a business and medical major.  I am also disabled by rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, myofacial pain syndrome, and chronic pain syndrome.

I am trying to get a BA so i can work either at home or for someone who understands my disabilities.
