I’m worried this is where I’m headed very soon. I’m trying to leave an abusive marriage. Both of my parents died recently too. I have no family or friends I can live with. I can’t access the shelters in my area for personal safety/medical reasons and I can’t find a hotel room in my area since they are only booking rooms for essential workers. I have no idea when I may be kicked out of my current living arrangement, still with my partner. I’m waiting to get approved for benefits to hopefully get me enough to pay rent, but that will take months. Time is not on my side and the pressure is on. It’s a horrifying feeling to stare homelessness in the face. And it’s frustrating because no one in my life seems to grasp just how shaken my world feels right now. To hear people say, oh I’m sure it will work out. It’s like no, you don’t get it. You really don’t get it.
