Seperation? But no place to GO!

I am considering seperating from husband.

But problem is where do I GO?

Has anyone else ever been stuck in this situation.

I have a disability check...but it is not much to live on. All the section 8 has huge waiting lists. Renting a room isnt easy because I cant do stairs and need other things for disability reasons. My mother helps me, sends money but she has told me she doesnt want me to move in, I do think she would help me in terms of getting things set up etc.

All friends are super-long distance, I hvae friends out of state who would take me in, healthwise cant travel easily but dont want to be that far from husband, because right now I am thinking only of seperation and not divorce. Friends in closer town poor or disabled themselves cant take me in.

So its a hard situation all together. Both of us are very poor. he is unemployed and has no assets, so I cant get any support money. There are no kids in the picture either.

I even have to consider IF I even CAN live on my own, I can walk nominally and even drive short distances in my car but it is complicated. Dont want to get into details of disabilities here. But being disabled with many health needs, it is not like I just go sleep on friends couch, 1000 miles away, know what I mean?

I don't really know what to tell you. I just wanted to say good luck. I am also stuck for the moment. I have four kids, go to school full time, and have no money. I am going to use my tax return as a cushion and try to get another at home job. I have worked from home before. I will pm you some information that might help. Good luck. I know it sucks not being able to just up and leave.

Thanks, how do you open a PM here? I am new and dont know what I am doing LOL.

Yeah you have children to think of and so that can be a much more complicated situation.
I even just want some time away to think, which is impossible given money, health and other circumstances. I will pray things get better for you and your situation.

I tried to send you an email but it said you do not allow them. You can email me at joshjenniferdun@aol.com if you would like.
