Posted by newmomandtoomuch

MORE.......THIS IS THE PAST BEFORE WE SEPARATED: I had a purchased a mobile home from a settlement I received that would have enough space for all of us before I was on disability: (I had a nervous breakdown because of his drinking and other medical disorders so I qualified for disability and he became the payee of my checks.) (A payee must use benefits in the best interests of the beneficiary, according to his/her best judgment.) The lot rent was only like $495 a month and I also had an electric bill in my name that is yet unpaid and I owe $1889.00 from when we both lived at the trailer. My husband was supposed to be making these bills and suddenly we received an eviction notice that we owed over $5000 in back lot fees and our electric got cut off. (Benefits should be used for current needs such as food, clothing, shelter, utilities, dental and medical care and personal comfort items, or reasonably foreseeable needs. If not needed for these purposes, the benefits must be conserved or invested on behalf of the beneficiary. Where the beneficiary has unmet current maintenance needs, saving benefits serves little purpose and would not be in the beneficiary's best interests.)
I had no space for them we were being evicted and his mother's home was where he was going to go and at the time she was in good health so I knew she would make sure they were safe. .) I stayed with friends for a while and began to seek counseling to better myself. Now his mom is getting older and overwhelmed but won't tell me much because she is protecting her son of course but she did end up telling me how she has been falling asleep at the wheel and has made minor damages to her and my ex-husbands car recently, she is always the one to pick up my kids after a visit with me because I know it is because he is drunk!( I know this because when he calls to tell me she is picking them up, he is slurring his words and mumbling) I also found out that my 9 and 6 year old are being left alone with grandpa to watch them during the day sometimes because grandma is taking care of an older lady (She used to be a CNA) and dad is at work. Grandpa has been diagnosed with colon cancer years ago and it had spread to his bones years ago and he can barely walk now! The kids actually said they saved grandpas life the other day by getting him his oxygen tank because he could not breathe. I would get her to help me but she enables her son, she is protecting her son of course, and will not get involved! She told me already that she don't want to get in the middle.
I also think his girlfriend is sexually abusing them because she showers with them but they won't admit it when asked by anyone. They have just slipped up several times with saying things that now I know it is true. They admit that she spanks them too and she don't even live there with them nor is she even a step parent and as far as I am aware spanking is not a good method of punishment anyways. We do time outs! Way too much to explain here but I hope this gives you a better idea of what I am going through right now. I am also keeping a journal with dates, times, etc. of everything! But the problem is living space! Will they allow in an emergency situation, temporary living space here until we can get more space? We are kind of stuck for a couple of months but we can get more room soon"026. They have been through so much! I don't want to see them end up in foster care where someone else could hurt them!View Thread
