Verbally Abused Single Mom Needs Advice/Help.
I was referred to this site by a friend I was asking for help. My name is Venessa. I am a mother of a wonderful 6 year old boy. Unfortunately we have come into a very bad situation. I have been in a relationship with my fiance for 5 years, who has bipolar disorder, and over the last few years he has become very verbally abusive, and has started drinking on and off again, spending all our money, and many other things, and I cant deal with it anymore, and told him I am leaving.
I had a place to go, but the person under estimated the condition of the place and when I looked at it, it is completely unlivable for at least the next 3-6 months. I lost my job about 7 months ago and have only been living on his income. When i came home after looking at it, my landlord gave use 2 weeks to move out, then came back the next day with a 5 day eviction notice.
My family will not help me, and my friends do not have any room for me, my son, and our two dogs (which we are keeping to help my son with the transition.) I have asked everyone I know if they could lend me, or donate me some money so that I can get myself and my son into a new place, but have only come up with $200. Living in the chicagoland area, that doesnt go very far. I know in about 2 months I could get back on my feet, but getting into a place is the hard part.
So I guess what I am asking, is if there is anyone out there willing to help us out, or know of any solutions, besides a shelter (because of the animals) and the affect that would have on my son. It would be greatly appreciated, more than you know.
Thank you
Venessa
