For the past few months my family's been rooming at my brother's place. Mother, father, youngest brother and myself at his apartment with his 2 kids and wife. She's a primadonna and wants everything to be about her. Bailed on my brother twice, when that didn't work she took the kids. That got her results so she did it everytime. Moved out completely using money that had been given to her for school but stopped going to school. She ran out of money and came back. My brother's health made it so he got removed, too many panic and anxiety attacks. So he was on welfare. This month was his last wellfare check and he hadn't found a new job. His wife drained his bank account, bought some new clothes and took off to texas.

She took the rent, electric and food money, left the kids and my brother. We find out the owner of the rental was using the rent to make payments to the bank. Without it they are threatening to foreclose, if they won't give the owner an extension we will have 30 days to move out.

We're living on food stamps and my mother's SSI, which would cover the rent if we turned off everything else but this happened yesterday, we had spent the money on bills. So if the bank doesn't give an extension, we're homeless. We have no where to go and no one to count on.

I only write these things here when I can't find one of my few trusted friends online. Please, any advise on how to keep on trucking. I'm at the end of my emotional rope hanging over an abyss of ftotal breakdown.
