venting ..

Ive just been feeling down. 2 weeks ago i moved out of my boyfriends parents house bc i wasnt getting along with his mom.. my boyfriend and i have been talking about saving to get our own place but i feel like its never going to happen, he doesnt even have a steady job and is horrible at saving money. I feel alone and im doing this all by myself.  I already have money saved up and have been looking for housing and went to apply for housing assistance but they couldnt help bc they said i have a job but what happens in 2 months when i cant work bc i have a baby?? I feel so hopeless

HUDD is government housing assistance. Wic should be able to point you in the right direction. If not call your county's dept. Of human services/welfare office. The same place you would sign up for food stamps.  You have time before ba y gets here, just take one think at a time and try to keep your stress level down.

I'm sorry your going through this. That sounds like I stress full situation even for someone not pregnant! I'm not sure what state you live in, but even with a job you should still qualify for some type of housing assistance.Like HUDD? My husband works at a non profit agency that deals with low income housing and pregnant women, and women with children take priority. Where do you go when you moved out? If you can't get assistance maybe just look for a smaller apartment that will accommodate you and your baby, not sure how far along you are but maybe you can pay a few months in advance to take the stress away while your off for a few weeks; months.
As for your boyfriend- sounds like he needs to cut Thr cord with mom and man up, you and his baby should take priority. Hope everything gets better for you :)
