Where do I begin? I haven\'t lived with my husband since he went back to work in October. My now 13 year old son lost everything he knew as his life and basically fell apart inside. Had counseling all summer to try to bring him back to his old self. He went from being in the gifted program since 3rd grade to barely passing 2 core subjects in 7th grade. He got no understanding or empathy from the school after they made promises to help him. We are in Tennessee alone. Can\'t find a place to move to in Louisiana near husband/dad. Can\'t afford to!\r\nI haven\'t found a job, housing being paid for month by month, but don\'t know when they will end it. Can\'t afford utilities, don\'t know what will happen this month. Life is miserably different.... no normalcy in our lives, always at risk of being put on the street. I want peace. I want a place that I can tell my son that he doesn\'t have to worry about being thrown out of. I want my family back together. Are these things too much to ask?
