The straw that broke the camel's back

Hi.. I have to vent. I feel like i'll be getting a stroke or a heart attack soon.. They're still fighting it out.

I live with my sister and her husband and 2 kids. Day before Thanksgiving my brother in law told us he hadn't paid the rent in 2 months and wasn't going to pay it for December either.. He also told my sister he was bailing on her and the kids, leaving us on our own to find a place to live. My sister was a stay at home mom and now she's looking for a job. I was their only hope to finding another place for us to live..... until I got fired on Friday 12/6/13. Now we have until 12/31/13 to move out and we're both jobless. I have a dog 1.5 yo pit butt and she has a puppy, 11 mo shar pei. If worse comes to worst we can go live with my mom for a while but our pets cannot come... If you're a pet owner than you know how I feel. Not to mention a year ago on 12/12/12 my 3 year old Retriever was run over and died. That was horrible.. I don't want to go thru it again. Forget the holidays! My goal for the rest of this year is to survive. I haven't cried and I don't think that's a good thing. My head and fingers are literally numb and my upper back feels extremely tense and also numb.

I need a job and I need it Yesterday! I can't cope with this! I'm sitting here updating my resume but i'm frozen. My brain is not working. I've hit rock bottom! There's no one to help me. I have to take care of my self. I'm always the helper/problem solver... but who helps the helper?!?!

Sorry.. Venting... No need to reply with nasty comments.. I doubt you can make me feel any worse than how I feel at this moment.

Yes.. At least we have our health and there are people worse off than me.. In fact there will always be people worse off than other people and I'd hate to be the person who is truly worse off than anyone else in the world. But I still feel pretty miserable.. This is my all time low. No job. Soon no house. No more buying presents.. Instead, I'm returning them. Just kidding.. I'd already returned them when I found out we would have to vacate the premises when out my worthless good for nothing assholw of a brother in law wasn't paying the rent.

I am sorry you are going through this. I see you are in Chicago. PM me... I know of a job opportunity you might be interested in.

Get rid of the dogs, mom in with mom for the time being

Best of luck!

Damn brah if u leave nearby ill let u stay in our extra room no charge til you get back on your feet take your dogs with u too i can never leave mine

Go to a temporary job agency. A job is a job right now.

Damn sorry. Your sister sure picked a winner. My brother in law's worst crime (besides nailing my sister) is he always takes a crap while he's visiting my mom's house - Thanksgiving, etc. They live close by but for some reason he can't hold it until they get back to their house. Why does he have to shit in her bathroom? Is it some sort of dominance thing? I don't know.

try gofundme.com you may be able to raise some $ like that or kickstarter.com i've seen some successful stories in there, and i saw a girl raise $280.00 for her DACA application just by telling people
she needs $....

You come off as a huuuge douche for that dog comment. I'd live in my car before getting rid of mine.

Reality is reality, it'll be best to find another owner for the dog. It would be selfish for everyone (including the dog) not to do this. Sucks but its the way it goes
