My family, which is to say me my wife and our two children, will very probably be homeless at the beginning of next month. The family member we were living with has decided they don't want us around anymore. The emergency housing people haven't had anything open up yet. We call every morning to let them know we still need help, but right now that's all we can do. Soon we'll be alternating between sleeping in shelters (first come first serve cots, that sort of thing) and the living room of my wife's coworker on nights we can't get into the shelter. That's assuming the coworker's generous offer is genuine, which is difficult for me to believe after the number of times we've been fucked over by "friends". If that doesn't work out we'll be sleeping in the car. There's a possibility we'll have to send our children away to live with their grandparents.
So let's talk about hard times in our lives. We can commiserate about financial difficulty, being betrayed by loved ones, or even just a crappy day at work. Let's remember that we're not alone in hardship.
