THE QUESTION

What about a son who is living with a contentious girlfriend? Neglectful of her own children, very selfabsorbed & I am living in their home? I have no where else to go, what do I do?

I must first ask more about what do you want to do? If money were not an issue, where would you live? Why would you want to live there? How would it improve your life and your relationship with your son/family members to live there instead? What would you be willing to risk to get to that new place?

First I want to ask have you tried talking it out them both, how you feel and how do they feel about it.

Second having no place to go cannot be easy, but have tried community resources,church, family, social services?

What is i your income condition, would you at have funds to move if you found a place?There some services that keep you pay that first months rent and many that will move you in free, depending where you live.
Salvation Army, Catholic Charities, get in touch with your local outreach centers soon as possible

My mom before she passed away 2 years ago felt trapped because she lived with my brother and felt the way you have expressed. However, it is always important to stay focused on what YOU WANT. Things have a way of miraculously changing when you are very clear on what you want to have happen. When people feel they have a victim living with them they tend to treat them as a victim. When my mom told me how she felt, we sent for her to come 800 miles away to S. Florida. When she began to state that she would rather live with us...their actions began to change. Their victim was becoming victorious. She was 78 years old, very little retirement income and had really bad arthritis/health concerns, but in the end she always knew she was loved and had options. So sometimes even when you talk to the son and the girlfriend you may find that you still do not get you what you want. It could be hitting the resources Milton brought forward and letting those counselors know exactly what you want out of your life and you may be surprised who can offer you a better way.

The first thing you must do is to get a job to support yourself. If you do not have an education then get a job that you can do and save your money. Do not spend your money on your sons family. While you are working you can take a course on any career that would interest you. To succeed you must not give up half way thru your efforts. If you wait for some lucky thing to happen in your life to change things to the better, that will likely not happen. The sure thing for change is to do it yourself. Remember, this will take EFFORT but after you succeed you will be glad you made the change on your own.
