My homeless drug and alcoholic brother tries to make me feel responsible for his situation.?

  • Posted on January 11, 2011 at 3:21 am

I helped him once by finding him a job buying him a trailer and vehical so he could work and take care of his wife. He lost his job and then traded the the trailer and car for drugs. He is now homless and blames me for not taking him and his family into my home. They are both alcoholics and heroin addicts. I have a wife and 9yr old daughter so thats not going to happen yet I feel guilty to the point of not being able to sleep. I saw him panhandling at the local grocery store. I went lost my temper and became terribly upset. I feel like putting him out of his misery yet feel sorry to see a family member this way and feel guilty for not helping . he has no self respect this hole situation is driving me crazt How do I deal with him?

what to do about my homeless ex?

  • Posted on August 29, 2010 at 4:32 pm

Ok so, me and my ex dated for 3 years. He wasnt homeless at the time, but ill get into that later. im gonna say this flat out, he was an asshole to me. He stole my credit cards, and used them..he used my car without permission usually when i was sleeping, wrecked three of them as well. He cheated on me and was physically and verbally and mentally abusive. i provided him with a roof for alomst 2 years, food and supported his alcoholism, and i took care of his daughter for 3 years as well. I am only 21 and he is 29…we met when i was 18…this is actually quite a long story with alot of details. so ill make it short… He was living with a girlfriend for about 6 months.She kicked him out, so he moved back into his parents house. He was supposed to go to court for a felony warrent that he has, but he didnt go so his parents kicked him out, so he went to a friends house and then HE kicked him out as well. We talked on and off while he was at the last friends house, but he recently got a hold of me on facebook (he was at the library) and told me he was homeless and that he was sleeping under a bridge. Why the hell do i feel so guilty? I cant take him in…i know i cant, and i wont, i just feel so damn guilty, or am i a heartless bitch for not giving him a temporary roof over his head and helping him out? i was crying all day because the thought of him sleeping under a bridge makes me sad, even though he was such an ass to me. His status on facebook was “i wanted someone to talk to but all i heard was silence” That hit me really hard, im crying now as we speak, i dont know what to do. I know he was a f****** ass to me and everyone else, but i need something to make the guilty sad feeling go away, i need some advice. i sent him a long msg on facebook explaining why i couldnt take him in, i told the police i didnt know where he was,(theyre looking for him) and if they catch him over my house, thats big trouble for me, i told him in the facebook email that he needs to turn himself in, then hell have food and a roof over his head…i dont know what to do… :(

Help! My daughter and I are on the verge of being homeless!!?

  • Posted on July 26, 2010 at 4:25 pm

I am a single mom with a 12 1/2 year old daughter. I have struggled for years with horrible, nowhere jobs. For the past 2 years Catholic Charities had been paying my rent while I went to college to work on my AA degree in Addictions counseling. Unfortunately, their funding has been cut and the will no longer be able to help us. What’s worse is the lease is up for renewal in September and they are raising the rent from $831-$913/month. It’s just way too much for me to pull off so I will have to move out.I decided the best move was to put school on hold for now and I was accepted into the 6week Nursing Assistant course at one of the local Nursing homes. I get paid while I am taking the class, but only minimum wage and I only get between 15-25 hours per week. Once we finish the class in the beginning of September I will get a raise and full time hours, but that first full paycheck is going to come just before our deadline to move out. I have no idea what to do! Does anyone have any ideas?
