Is it normal to hate people that make stupid uninformed comments?

Have faith.

I'm really sorry for you. Your situation is difficult and the fear of being homeless is very real. These people might be making uninformed comments but they are at least trying to be positive or cheer you up in some way. I'd hate people that kicked me when I was down. Don't be too proud to avoid soup kitchens as a source of food.

I'm sorry. It reminds me of my bf. He's doing better now though. He was living with his mom for a while but his dad gave him enough money to go to community college. Good for him but now I never get to see him. He has so many health issues though idk if he's gonna live past 40. It's really quite sad, he's such a nice guy. I can't promise you'll be ok and everything is going to go perfect in life. I can promise the opposite though. Things wont ever be perfect and you'll probably not be successful. but did you know 1 out of every ten people are successful in life? And, I can promise you that everyone will not get everything their way either, you're no diffrent. I'll be praying for you.

After my mother commited suicide two years ago, and I had nowhere to go and was utterly screwed. I had just turned 18, but I had lived a sheltered life. I never even had a bank account, or a job, I didn't even have a chance to finish high school. So yeah, I get what you mean. Life sucks.

I grew up in a family of 7 kids. We were so poor we had to eat cereal with a fork so the next person would have milk.

I love lamp

im sorry

I truly feel real bad for you. However, I had to watch my parents be homeless for over 6 months. I was living with friends so there was nothing I could do for them. When I told them it would work out and to trust in God I meant it. I have faith in God that all things will work out for those that believe. So they may be just trying to give you encouragement in the only way they know how. Having Faith in God has been for me and my family the only thing that pulls us through some of the worst times in our lives. So the next time someone says that to you take into concideration that maybe they have been in your shoes and their faith is what got them through. I can go on and on about people I know personally that has been homeless and eating out of dumpsters but God pulled them through. I know from experience that yes it is hard to hear it at the time but it is usually said out of a need to say something uplifting. Also a lot of people dont always know what to say to a person in your place. Just take it as it was given.

I'm very sorry that you have no family to act as a safety net for you :o( When my husband and I started out we sold everything we had to pay the mortgage and he lifted floor boards to make bird boxes for Xmas presents - rather than admit that we were so poor.

I am actually watching a TV programme at the moment where people check out rubbish bags outside shops for food that has just been taken off the shelves, or in skips / bins behind supermarkets. It is perfectly edible!!

My sister was left with 4 kids under 6 and her husband left them in debt, with their home up for repossession. Although, she had a job, some charities and churches gave her hampers and even money! They came out to her house at Christmas (she had no Xmas tree up) and even gave her toys for the kids. So please try these, a lot of them want an application in writing.

I also saw a programme recently where someone put out bin bags around affluent houses to ask for old clothes - he sold a few for rags and any decent ones on ebay.

Just had a thought - would there be any chance you could get a room mate to share your living expenses?

Perhaps you would like to tell us whereabouts you live, to see if any of us can help you. Or post your name and an e-mail address in your profile.

I hope with all my heart that you get sorted.

I've been been there and made it. My bf and I started out homeless because reasons I can not say. My bf got a job that didnt pay much but it was just temporary. We stayed in diffrent hotels and payed daliy, we stayed in crack hotels because it was cheep and we didnt have enough money to pay for a better room. I got pregnant right away and my bf would work long hours trying to get us out of that place we were staying. I never felt safe in those hotels, there was alot of drugs and prostitution in every room! My bf got a little raise at work a week before my due date so we were able to move to BEST WESTERN where there was NO DRUGS AND PROSTITUTION. We payed weekly and soon after that my baby came. I applyed for foodstamps and cash aid. We didnt get much because my bf worked but it was a little extra for us. I had plans to start seeking wrok as soon as my baby was old enough to go to childcare. But all that changed when I went in for my check up 7 weeks after my baby was born! I found out that day that I was pregnant again. When my bf came back to the hotel after working he asked if everything went well with me and the baby at the hospital. When I told him I was pregnant again he looked at me like I was crazy at first but he realized I was NOT joking and he finally said but we only did it once and used a condom how can this happen!!! (LOL) Anyways to make the story short we moved into a family shelter where we had a small room with a small bed nothing more. By the time my daughter was 10 months old she had a new baby sister. The shelter helped us get into a transitional housing because we needed more room and oh did i forget to tell you I had two other kids(boys)that were living with their dad in another state?. They too wanted to come and live with me. We got a two bedroom unit in the transitional place NO KITCHEN AND NO BATHROOM just two rooms. We shared a bathroom and a kitchen with 4 other familys. My boys came soon after that so now we were a family of 6. We lived there for a year they helped us save money and all. I got pregnant again. A month before my new baby came we moved into a low income housing where we got our first real appartment! 3 bedrooms(a walk in closet in the master bedroom) 2 bathrooms, a kitchen and dining room up front and a livingroom. After giving my bf 3 babys and 2 step kids we both worked long hours so we could move out of the low income place and get a bigger place. Two years later we did it we moved our family out of there and got our own place and here we are one big happy family and pregnant AGAIN! It was hard and we came a long way but with god beside us all the way we made it and so can you! keep your head up!! :)

I'm so sorry bout your situation, really. Look for maybe a 2nd job, there has to be something out there, i know times can get very difficult but I admire you because you're alone and do it all on your own. Maybe you can ask a friend? I'm sure you have at least a friend who is willing to help you out, maybe get help from a church? There are many churches who feed people breakfast and dinner in different places, I used to go to these places because my parents would pay rent.. Etc etc, the food wasn't even all that bad, you just gotta look. There are people out there willing to help you. And hey I made it, and so can you! Just look and don't give up, you'll make it.

Nah cuh
