I know the feeling. :( Boyfriend owns his own place, we have it all under control... Then WHAM! House is no longer safe to live in. Electrical issues on top of a gas leak. Electrician told us he doesn't know why it didn't go up in flames already and advised us not to go back. So now we're homeless. :\ Then unexpected health issues, work issues... Ugh. Sometimes I just cry.

We can't do it because he already owns, but look into tricounty home assistance. They basically buy your house and pay your mortgage if you need, to help you get on your feet as long as you meet goals over a period of 15 years.

Also try wheels to work through Proaction. Not sure if it's just local or not but they help you get a car. :)

Things will get better. My husband always seems to lose his job when I'm pregnant . this is our 3rd baby and its happened every pregnancy. We live n a tiny one bedroom and things look hopeless for a bit but they start to change and it has gotten so much better. Just keep your head up I know it's stressful and tiringg but stressing never helps ! Just keep him motivated to find a job quickly and be supportive ! It'll work out :)

I know how you feel. Me and my boyfriend have been in a motel for the past 5-6 weeks. He makes good money and I just started a new job, but were having a hard time finding a place because of his record and my employment. He always tells me not to stress that everything will work out. Im due april 4th and am now having problems with my hips, hoping it doesnt cause a problem with work.and also have anxiety problems.
