We dated for a while. I lost my job due to the economy and when my unemployment ran out and I had no more money to give, he started getting madder and madder. He had medical issues with his hip needing replaced, he’s very self-centered and feels nobody can have pain or problems like he has. I supported him through his problems, every time. I spent days in the hospital with him several times. He was in for 4 days, I came home only to make dinner for the kids and make sure they were in and ok...another time, he was in for almost a week, same thing...just to take care of the kids for a few minutes and then rush back to him. Then, when I needed help and support, he wasn’t there, he felt I was faking it...just the other day he asked if I was seeing a mental doctor, that was his way of accusing me of being mentally ill, faking it.
Yes, he threatens us with eviction several times a month some times, other times, he’s good for a month or two. There’s no rhyme or reason to explain why he is like this except to say “alcohol”.
I’m sorry. I hope you don’t suffer for posting all of that and I didn’t intend to draw you out on it.
It sounds like a hostile environment. I realize it would take some time, but you should definitely not stay in that situation.
If you’re not able to work, and you have doctors who have documented that — along with the fact that you have a dependent child — I don’t know why you wouldn’t qualify for housing, food, utilities, and whatever else there is.
