My mom lost her job a couple weeks ago, and with it my insurance. That is the LEAST of my worries, however. Without even getting into the fact that I'm probably on medicare/medicaid (I forget which)...
I was supposed to visit my mother so that I could watch her dogs while she went to training for work. It kept getting put off because of ice and snow, and now that the weather is clear...she got fired right before. It's a rough time for her (and her birthday!!!), so of COURSE I still went up to see her!! :( Even if she didn't lose her job, it seems she's about to lose her house. The landlord is elderly, and plans to sell the property she's on. I don't know if that officially means she'd lose her home in the transfer, but she feels it does.
It's been a week and a day since we made the drive back to GA from NC, and I got a text from Mom. I know it must be BAD because she told me I would have to get the dogs. :( She's going to end up living out of her car!!! She moved back home to be with her FAMILY, and they won't lift a finger to help her!! She helps them ALL the time, but they give HER the cold shoulder!! WHAT THE FUCK?????!!!!!
I don't have any resources to take care of my mother, but the LEAST I can do is take care of her dogs (which I grew up with, btw; they're old as hell..). I just don't know what I'm going to do...she finally cut ties with her boyfriend, who's been stringing her along for months. She called me in TEARS, absolutely SOBBING over the stupid sod because NO ONE ELSE WOULD LISTEN TO HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a selfish person, I KNOW this about myself, but I actually CARE about my mother, bygones be bygones!!!!!!!
Family, WHAT THE HELL???!!!!

BTW, her work fired her ILLEGALLY. She's a nurse with nerve damage on her left side, which makes it painful to walk. She works at the hospital, but she doesn't work the floor anymore. Desk job kinda thing, teaching and helping others that way (and apparently driving off to visit patients at home!). I've always said that no matter her faults and flaws, she is an ANGEL as a nurse!!! It's what she's good at, and people are absolute FOOLS to EVER let her go!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, gushing aside...because of the horrible pain in her leg, she has a handicap tag to let her park in handicap spaces. She uses the one in front of the building she works at, because DOH.
The security guard at her job has been fussing at her about it for several weeks, if not longer. Why? Because APPARENTLY the handicap spaces in front of her building are for PATIENTS. So they want her to park in a handicap spot at another building, and walk there. Are they retarded?? Legit question. I would KIND OF understand their point of view, if not for one crucial fact: PATIENTS DON'T GO TO HER BUILDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She told him, one day, that he was being illegal, he DGAF. She told her boss about the situation the next day, and 30min later she was fired. "You've missed too many days of work", they lied. All of her days were approved or could not be helped. When she couldn't get to work because of ice and snow, she worked from home. WORKED from home, not LOUNGED ABOUT LAZILY.
ILLEGAL BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want her to pursue legal action, but she won't. I want her to get on Social Security already, but she's so emotionally drained, it's difficult for her. I'm so worried I can't think straight!!! Q~Q
