As a resident of Long Beach i gotta say the California gov. will do alot to help you out if your in trouble like this.
A couple of friends are under some section 8 like deal n live in places like a 2bedroom apt for (i shit you not) 200 a month.
Surprised the hell outta me n i reccomend you research what can be done for you out here.

I got accepted to school out there a couple of them but I thought it would be better to stay over here for now. Save some money and get my ge's done and then go to USC or maybe CSULB. My mother would not be moving out there though. She tells me there is no way she would ever live in California (this was earlier this year cause I was joking around with her saying we could live there for a year or two so I can get instate for school). I should be set with housing money because I get grants/loans through college. It's just the Section 8 housing wouldn't help much by the time I move out there because I'm not going to need it....my mother would be the one who does. Thank you though for the idea. I actually will still look that up because you never she might change her mind about moving out there....

Oh i see.
Well at least the lil misunderstanding was still beneficial.


8o
Why the fuck would your mother not wanna live out here!?
 
She said she never saw anything good in California lol she says she doesn't like it. And it's cool about the misunderstand....kind of figured you did. I'll look more into section 8 housing ended up we were on it once before awhile back.

Ends up section 8 is closed off since the waitlist is already too long. So that's out of the question.
 
Just one comment.

Thank your landlord for evicting you - he may set you free.

"The liberator who destroys my property, is fighting to save my spirit. The teacher who clears all possessions from my path will set me free."

Liberators free those who were forced under oppression.
The landlord dint force her to live there.
The liberator n the teacher are meaningless in this case cuz anyone can give up all material possession.
It is the wiseman who frees one from oppressive thought is the real teacher n liberator.
 
Yeah.... thank him more like punch him until he's in a coma. If only I could do that and not get sent to jail.
 
Update: Well my mom managed to get the eviction put off through filing something so we weren't kicked out July 16th... the thing is the judge's secretary and people approved that but it could be declined by the judge and guess what it was. That really pissed me off because in the first trial the judge didn't even get police reports to back up my step father's claim but we wrote that in the appeal but he still declined it.

So the judge called my mother this last thursday and was like you will have till Saturday until my step father has possession of the house...the thing is he hasn't been home except for once yesterday but I guess he chose not to evict us then. Except the thing is the eviction is now happening tomorrow. This is really fucked up cause we literally have nowhere to go...my mom is working with the crisis intervention people near us but there will not be anywhere for us to go or our pets to go. So I guess my mom is barricading the doors all throughout the house so no one can get in (not even my step father he's been in hershey for family but doesn't have work tomorrow so that's why he picked for the eviction to happen.) My mom knows she will get arrested but what happens if my sister and I don't leave. Our names weren't on the paperwork at all which is kind of a loophole I guess? It only says my mothers name to be evicted but yeah I'm going to have her go in one of the rooms with our pets and maybe barricade the room in so she can't get arrested without a fight.

I know this is all pretty crazy but we have no other options. What do you guys suggest?

My sister can move up to connecticut with my father but I can't since child services don't reccomend it after a huge thing we got into last summer when I visited him with my sister. He ended up kicking me out on the street but then brought us to our grandparents and then threw all our stuff into the driveway. Other than that I am moving into my apartment with roommates for college on August 8th but that still like two weeks from now so until then I will be homeless until then and I don't know where my mom is going.

All our family is up in Connecticut so it's not like they can just come down here tomorrow with just short notice to get us and we also don't have a car to go up there because my screwed up step father junked it (nothing was even wrong with it)....and the one we brought down from CT needs little repairs. So we are kind of stuck.

By the way I live in Pennsylvania right now.
 
I'm sorry to hear about all of this stayfaded, you've had an awful year :(

Do you and your mom have any money that you can spare for this move, even if it's little? A budget, even if it's too small really, might make this at least a little easier. Have you looked at hardship things in the area? You can do a LOT over the phone (Mondays are awful for that though) and then if you guys could afford bus tickets or something to get there, you'd end up being alright. Maybe even see if you can negotiate not moving ALL of the shit out until the end of the month and buy yourself some time, some storage units are cheap and its temporary anyway. Are there ANY local friends who could even put you guys up for the night? I know the stuff and pets are an issue but your options all seem to have that as negative points :\

It's fine but thank you it means a lot. My mother literally does not have any money that could get us an apartment right now not even for one month. That's why I'm really freaking out right now because we literally have nowhere to go. My mom contacted the crisis intervention people and they're going to work with us to get established....we might be put up at a hotel for a couple of days but then I don't know about that... I'm not even sure if we will be put up at the hotel for sure. And I want my sister and mom to get up to connecticut at least and maybe if I beg my father to at least take in our pets for now until we have a place then she could just take them up with her.

My close friends who I wouldn't mind staying with probably can't take me in. My two close friends who are twins had to take in our friend Zack already because his parents kicked him out and so I don't think that would be an option. And my other close friend says she really wish she could take me in but she's not sure if she can. Her mother has cancer right now and I really do not want to be a burden right now. Everything was so last minute we only found out thursday we would be actually evicted and so I had no time to plan.

I don't care if I lose my things really but I do care if I lose my pets ): This really just sucks... Honestly I would barricade myself in my room with my pets and not move out until when I move in with those other people for college on August 8th. Like if I put my dresser up at the door would the police seriously be able to get in??? Even if I barricade the window?? I don't know I'm thinking of some crazy ideas right now. But seriously my sister and my name weren't written on the paperwork to move out so can't that be a loophole?

And actually I just found out my step father will keep the things in the garage for free (belongings) but let's see if that actually happens and if that would even be a good idea.

I'm just super lost right now and really stressed out. I think I'm going to lose it....
 
first of all you are a taff und very brave lady!!btw.
i am sure as long as you do not give i it up you will find solutions- for sure!!!
from my point of view i would keep staying on sending your mom and sister to connecticut(and beg them that they can take the pets as well- i guess your family loves the pets as you and hopefully give them power and ideas. if you realy try to barrcide-try talk to the police and tell them your situation- it would be bad if you get arrested- does not sound great to universitys or collages. try to keep your family together probably there are oncels or aunts which you didnt think of. but stay reasonable, espacialy with police and autorities- tell them what happend in case of barricade. they are human and your story is heaertbreaking. probably the cops catch up with your stepfather after they are informed otherwise there will come the time for payback in future as long as you keep reasonable and fighting. think twice if you get help form your stepfather allthough the time is ticking. try to get a credit for the movement from your father or bank. are you christian/catholic (or become?) if so hopefully they have a solution. talk to the media/universities etc. keep trying the right is on your side. never forgett.
boah what a year but dont forget after bad times great times are following. i would like to help you much more but i dont even life on the same continent as you.otherwise your problem would be fixed.you have a great personality!
all the best and thinking of you
