A bad situation gets worse.
12 years ago
So my mom and dad are making the “splitting up” thing pretty damn official.
My dad’s renting a new house downtown that he’s going to use as an office, and we’re losing this house. Mom’s going to find somewhere else to stay. I can choose between living with one of them, or find my own place.
I would’ve had money for my own place, except my brother in Fort Myers needed $2000 for his moving in fees. So I’m down to about $1500. Apartments near here go for anywhere between $700-1200 a month, and I barely make $600 a month at my current job.
I don’t think I’ve ever been this scared before.

They promised us that if they split up, they'd do everything in their power to make sure this choice would never have to happen, for me or any of my brothers.
Yet, here we are.
Then again, I barely know anything... best of lucks and try a new part time job to help you keep up
Good luck.
I've been there myself. though not nearly as bad as that.
I really hope it works out for you, somehow.
I absolutely suggest living with your dad if you have that option.
I was pretty much in the same sort of looking for housing situation but can't afford anywhere thing. Hopefully it works out for you
As for this fear... Old way of life was good while it lasted, but it's over, time to move on. Some writers find such strong emotions very inspirational. Every time my life becomes a mess, I come close to the top in some amateur writing competition. Though the same troubles, that inspire, leave little time for writing.
