Can I have some cheese with my "whine"

I know it has been awhile since I have posted, although I have been trying to respond as much as I can to others, however, today I am feeling a little down. Things have been relatively good, the kids are adapting and stbx is finally figuring out I am serious and is pulling all sorts of tactics (cooperation, whining, pity, suicide) that have no impact whatsoever on my decision. I have pulled it together emotionally quite well and while there is still lots of work to do I think I am on my way to figuring stuff out and breaking away from the bonds he put on me. All that aside...here comes my whine. I am at the shelter and seriously want to get out, now I am grateful they were there for me but sometime I am sure they think I have the parenting skills of a rabid racoon and the IQ of a dead horse. Perhaps they are trying to help but I get the feeling that if things are not done according to how they see them tehn there is trouble. Now this is not all of them, most of them are very good, however, there are several staff who act as if they are pions of society helping us poor, stupid abused women and furthermore, act as if without them we would all wonder into themiddle of teh street and be killed by traffic. Grrr...and the Family Services lady tries to talk to the children alone and then puts words in their mouth. A lady I became friendly with has a 14 yo daughter who went in to talk to this woman and became furios when she tried to get her to say her step father was acting inappropiate toward her. Thankfully I am at work and the kids with Grandma and only am home at night where we stick to our supper bath bed routine. Today I find out I am still 3rd on the list for housing and my move out date is April 7! NOw mostly I can make light of things and i am a very psotive person but his just bummed me out, i was so hoping to get out and get settled ASAP with the kids. I just feel that once I ahve my own place then things will be final and we can begin feeling secure again.
Anyway, sorry about the whine but I just kind of needed to get it off my chest.
Thanks a lot!

I have a nice cheddar over here if you'd like some...
I wouldn't be surprised if there were a few of those "civil servant" types there, but that family services worker worries me.
