Facing that my mom will likely be homeless
Back in July I made this post, the gist being that my dad threw my disabled, elderly mother out of the house and she was barely getting by with my sister and sister’s boyfriend, who were both addicts who stole from her and didn’t have any income of their own.
Things got better, things got worse. The current situation is that they have to meet with the manager to discuss payment arrangements to get caught up on rent OR be out on the 31st of December. The manager has been dodging them, and I imagine he’d rather just have them out than try to arrange anything. Either way, mom has no money.
My sister is, apparently, off of drugs and trying to get her life back on track, but she has a number of fees and fines against her both for legal violations and child support. Well, mom’s the only one with an income, so mom’s been paying them. She has nothing left. They were counting on money coming in from whatever it is my sister receives from child support owed to her, but it’s been delayed and held up and frankly I don’t believe it will ever come.
My sister’s boyfriend is still useless, and I found out recently that he hits and pushes her. My sister has rheumatoid arthritis so she is a very fragile person, and a fall could easily harm her severely. She doesn’t want to leave him.
My mom’s truck was fixed for a while, and then it broke in a way that would be far more to fix than to just get a new vehicle, so she doesn’t even have something she could sleep in if she’s outside. She’s been walking everywhere in northeast Ohio winter.
There are also three cats in the picture, at least one of which I dearly hope I can convince them to take to a shelter since he’s still a kitten.
Right now I’m not hopeful I can keep her in her apartment. My dad has made it clear he will never let her come home. She will, short of a legitimate miracle, be homeless by the end of the year. All I can do is try to gather some funds to give her some kind of cushion and keep her safe.

I’m sorry this is lacking my usual emotion, I’m very numb right now. Thank you for reading and reblogging.
