I really don't know what to do and really STRESSED out?

Question

Well this has been a really hard year on me and my family(My brother, My mom and I)..My mom has always struggled to get through and pay the bills. She yells constantly about how she doesn't have any money. My brother popped a tire on my Mothers car and spent alot of money in her bank account. Her bank account now only has $70 dollars in her account and $50 goes toward gas. She has to buy dog food today so($10) she will only have $10 dollars to buy food. She wants to get rid of the dogs because they are costing alot of money but, that is the only support system I have, I have no Dad(he is in prison and used to abuse me and now I have social anxiety because he used to abuse me physically and mentally)...

I am just so stressed, we only have ten dollars to buy food.She always struggled, she is a single Mom raising two teens.

My cousin got my old laptop fixed and it still had the internet service on, so this is probably about to get cut off.

The dogs are going to eat good either way it goes, I would feed my dogs before I feed myself..

Would somebody please pray for us?

My heart goes out to you,,my dad died when I was six,,and I was on the street at ten !!  I worked in a bowling alley setting pins for money and to get by .. I can tell you stories you wouldn't believe happened to me,,but that's not important.. You got to do whatever you can to make a buck..And you can !! I don't care if its sell scrap steel,,aluminum cans or whatever.. There's ALWAYS  ways to make a buck.. Down the road it will get better,,but for now,,its up to you to survive,,and get to the next stage of your life.. That's what I always did,,and it works.. I wish you the best,,and hope you make it,,like I did !! And today I a self made man,,and don't like to remember some of the things I had to do,,but,,I did them,,and I make no apologies to anyone !! Good Luck !!  SOLOMON

Answer 2

I'm sorry for your situation. Maybe you could help your mom out by getting a part time job (if you're old enough) or doing chores for your neighbors (clean the house, babysit, wash the car, mow grass)

Hope things get better

Answer 3

In this situation, i think your mom can talk to the social worker, see if they can help. Or borrow some $ from your relatives. Does your mom work? If you are old enough, you can work as a part time too.  

Answer 4

IM Very sorry to hear your situation, is your brother old enough to work?? if so he needs to get a job u know so it can help out (every lil bit counts). im not a single parent (2 yung to have kids) and i have 2  parents so idk what it is like for your mother..but do u think she work 2 jobs?? YES that is stressful and i'm pretty sure it's stressful for everybody in the household. but PLEAZE w/e u do keep ur head up and don't lose faith. sometimes u gotta do thing u don't nesicarlly wanna do. u may have to give up your dogs (it may b hard, if i had to give up my dog i would be upset) but then again u have to do what will make best for u and so that everybody in your houshold is able to eat.
