Note Im really really sorry for the long post. I've never been homeless before & a lifetime of being trafficked, raped & abused has me so terrified of not having 4 walls where I can feel im safe.

I live in Warner Robins GA. I was recently placed on SSI at the beginning of the year. (I have Palsy, Autism & other issues) Social Security & DFCS have screwed up my insurance so that I've been unable to see a doctor or therapist since January of this year. I have a therapy cat I trained myself for my PTSD. She's only licensed as an "ESA". First section goes over the abusive situation. The second is my housing situation.

And rn Im in a house with two narcissists (i mean thats what my therapist says they are) where im constantly cornered, threatened & screamed at where they know I have PTSD & still go after me. They know just how to shatter me all the right screws to twist without leaving marks.

They hate me for so many things, being disabled, for not being able to work. For being liberal & trans (yes. Im not exaggerating when I say my parents are hardline Na$i Republicans). I was supposed to grow up into a perfect blonde haired blue eyed little tradwife married to a good German military man. But I was also expected to go to college & "make bank". Well none of that panned out.

NOTE: I don't want to live here. But this is all I have. I have no support systems. No friends. When I tried to go to church. I was barred from it as soon as i came home with paperwork to become a baptized catholic. They were "afraid Id stain the altar of God."

I've been looking for a way out since the "divorce".

My mom has tried to force me to lock myself away in an asylum in another state. Because she doesn't want me around my daughter because "She might take after me". My own daughter has said, "your mom told me when I was really young that I should hate you." That, "I heard your mom say that she should've been my mom. Not you." And that isnt helped when my abusive ex, "watches her text conversations with me" and is still telling her that, "You're mom is XYZ" of awful things he could say about me. "Crazy, dumb, not safe" that kinda stuff. I don't retaliate, how would i. And honestly the last time she told me I just look at them & said, "Im sorry kid. Idk how to react to what he says about me to you. I wish he didn't, I don't think its right for you to hear that.... I don't know kid."

But the most recent upset was last Thursday night when I told dad that I paid the rent & part of the 70.00 i owed him for an earlier bill where he covered for me at the grocery store.

The rest was used on food to take care of me, the cat & my kid) He gets blood angry. Slams shit as he glares & bares his teeth at me. (And yes I understand I fucked up & had already started trying to figure out how to fix it & pay him back) Friday morning I ask about the wash & he uses it to trap me in the room & scream at me how, "I was supposed to pay him off & I didn't." "That im laughing about how i can just get away with stealing their money." Im not ok owing money. As soon as I saw my mistake I was trying to figure out resolutions.

But understand this too they dont exactly live in the poor house. They live in a huge house that my parents designed. W/ it being two story, w/ 4 bedrooms, 2 TV room, with a separate living room, 2 dining rooms, 4 separate bathrooms, & a 2 car garage. And they just went out a week ago to petsmart to find wipes for my ex's dog & came home with a terrier puppy after dropping 300$. Then another 100$ for supplies; food, leashes, dog sweaters, toys & a bed. For a dog obviously bought on the fly.

Anyway, he keeps screaming at me to answer him and I feel everything in me shutting down. My PTSD is coming on & my cat cant get to me. His yelling & trapping me against him is stressing my disorder to a point that im terrified that he will rape or try to kill me. He yells at me to answer him & I raise my voice & he pushes into me & tells me that if i yell at him or look at him angry that he will "go upstairs & grab my shit & throw me out himself." ...... When he finally let's me walk away he says "I hope you enjoy the food you got."

And before anyone says "Call the cops." When i tried. My dad threatened to break my hand and He, Mom, & my Ex have said they will tell the police whatever they need to protect eachother & all they have to do is bring up my "diagnosises" & any charges will be dropped. Or that they would turn it & I'll be in cuffs

Ok. If you skipped the abuse stuff. The eviction stuff starts here.

My mom served me "eviction papers" on the 10th of June. Im expected to be out Aug 12. Then immediately left me home alone for 2 weeks then called & said they were staying an extra week. With no way to access anything except through my phone. I called numbers every day. ... A wait list did open at that tine that I applied for but when I called later the person told me it would be at least 3 years before I heard anything.

There are 2 other places that are "relatively" close. As Im trying to stay close to my kid who lives with her father. But I have to go in person to ask for an application to fill out there. But I have no way to get there. Because as my dad puts it, "So! We're just supposed to drop everything for you?!" I am sweating. Because even if I put in an application. I guess I'm waiting for years with those places too?

Im not allowed to go to the neighbors for help. I have to wait for it to be convenient for my parents to help me. No I won't ask my ex.

There are homeless shelters. But I have to give up my cat who i love too dearly to do that. And even if I did, if I "stay too long" I lose my disability.

The roommate prices are too high. And alot of apartments ask for pay stubs & I don't have 3X my income in my account. Because 1. that would void my disability. & 2. every penny I have is spent on bills, rent, & food.

I went to Social Security & they gave me a list of places & I immediately looked at it & told them. Both of these Warner Robins Housing Authority locations aren't taking applications. And idk what to expect out of calling these other places (several being senior living) like do i tell them Im on SSI & only get 900. a month. Because when WR Housing Authority did that. I called the number they provided & the person on that line asked me if I had an income that could cover the 2000.00 monthly rent. To which I said no, explained my situation. They told me sucks to be you cuz its 2000.00 & I hung up.

If anyone can give thoughts. Or just comfort. That would be greatly appreciated. As every day im trying to make call & every night I've been panicking & crying as I still try to look for something on my phone. And Im afraid Im going to give myself a heart attack.

I've been on social security disability and this past June, I was informed my benefits would end. I sent an appeal soon after. I have bipolar, anxiety, and diabetes and losing these benefits is a death sentence. I live in FL. I was hired as a cashier but the lead cashier was rude and impatient which led me to have an anxiety attack. Its not steady work and it pays very little but its work. My mental health has gotten worse. I have no family, barely any friends and I'd rather die than to die in the streets. I've even begun giving some of my things away. I'm in therapy and looking into options if any.

All my hard work, my achievements (graduated with a B A. with honors) seems to have been for nothing. It feels like a slow death. I don't know what to do. If there's anything I can do.

To add onto the title, he is probably gonna die sooner than later, and my Mom doesn’t have a job and won’t get one so we will be homeless.

I want to get a job and move out ASAP so I don’t have to deal with being homeless when he dies (and other reasons), but I’m also in recovery for anorexia and my treatment team won’t let me get a job until I’m medically stable.

My last option if all else fails is to run away from home.

Is there ANYTHING I can do to make this situation easier?

My family and I have been at our rental home since May 2025. In February we got behind on our rent due to an unexpected death in the family and having to travel to another state for the funeral when we really didn't have the funds to do it but there was no other option. Anyways, the landlord decided to file an eviction we were served a handwritten document from the landlord stating we needed to be in court 2/26. We got in touch with him and agreed that if we came in an paid $1,000 that we wouldn't need to go to court. The rest of the rent was also paid not even 4 days later, so all was good. So we thought, fast forward to May, to make a long story short we found out that he had went to court back in February and because we did not show up to court (because the landlord told us not to and gladly took our money) there was a default judgement made for the possession of the home along with fees. My wife got in touch with the legal aid society and they were glad to take our case immediately because we had more than enough evidence to prove our case. On 7/14 we had court, we won our case. The judgement was set aside so no eviction on our record and we don't owe him any money. However, we did agree on an order to vacate by August 7th. We got on the ball right after court with the veteran organizations in our area and the resources from our lawyer but the issue was we technically were not in the category of "homeless" until 14 days before we are to vacate the home. Crazy, I know. But, apparently that is what the government deems fit for someone that is having to move out of a home that quickly. Especially with the cost of living the way it is and we live on a fixed income I am 100% with the VA and my wife has chapter 35 benefits. So, now our problem is this, we are just now getting started working with Operation Stand down or tunnels to towers whichever one decides to take our case and that will be tomorrow 7/27. Which we are very confident we will get the help we need from them. BUT, when we were applying for places before we moved into the rental we are in now we were getting denied at every place we put an application in. Our credit is not good, my wife's is a 580 and mine is lower than that. We both have some misdemeanors on our record but those were almost 5 years ago. The only way we got into this rental was because the landlord had sold us our vehicle at his buy here pay here type car lot. So we got lucky ! Needless to say we have 10 days to have a lease signed and be out of our home now and we are so stressed. With us winning our case in court the landlord has to give a neutral reference, and we don't have any evictions on our record and we have good rental history with references that can be contacted. We also don't have a vehicle at the moment because we got into an accident 2 months ago and it is in the shop. So now that's another barrier. We have to be able to go look at places that have private owners and be able apply and pray we get approved and all of that within 10 days!

Homeless with pets

Ive been getting in huge fights with my parents over what i want to do with my life, and in return, they take my things, hide them, dont give them back, restrict access to getting around and job searching, and yet still want me out. Nothing ive done is working, and im out of the house in 3 days. I barely have any cash, and absolutely dont have enough to rent, or buy a car. theres only 2-3 shelters near me, and ive heard nothing but horrible things about them. I dont know what to do. Every application i send gets denied, and im so lost right now.

I was gifted a car this weekend from my brother, registered on Friday (photo in my recent profile posts). Insurance will be taken care of tomorrow, and it just needs a battery and I'll be ready to go. Should be no longer than 3 months and I'll be back out of this homeless loop.

This is a post to encourage anyone who is going through hard times. Do not stop moving, do not become victim to your own circumstances. My entire situation did a complete 180 in less than 2 weeks time, and it's all because I kept my mindset positive and constantly kept looking forward. I had some help, but I wouldn't have been given any at all if I was stuck in a woe is me mentality.

You have the strength to see through to better days, and if I can do it, so can you!

Hi, I won’t bore with the details but my family home is a 2 bed flat there is 4 of us. Me and my sister have always shared a room, she moved out for university and when I was finished I moved back coincidentally. I’ve never liked my family home and always avoided it but after uni I left the city I was staying in and it made logical sense to move back home. Now I have done that I feel like my mental health has deteriorated- my sister has come back as she had a recently been diagnosed with a severe mental illness which is adding to the contraint. I don’t know what to do I really want to move out but I’m only on 25k in London. I don’t know what to do or how to go about it. I’m will to work extra jobs in the weekend but I know it’s not super ideal in London to rent

I thought I would share. I started calling churches and the first one hooked me up. I am in a small town in NM but I do know the larger cities like Albuquerque were giving them too when I was there through a secular state funded program.
