Icould really use some advise, the situation is I am unemployed till January living on food stamps 80$ a week and unemployment and im also having to pay a foot dr and my normal bill, and im paying to house my bipolar/mentally ill cousin with a broke back and other health problems to where he cant work or hold a job and keeps getting turn down for SS disability. his family put him here with me because they wont house him because the crap he put them through his sisters have nice houses and one also has a 6 yr old son she will not allow him around but its ok for my 6 yr old.. his momma has a big nice house many rooms not even 5 mins away but he cant sty their, I gave them permission for him to stay 2 weeks but they have left him here with me an my 6 yr old son whom he has pulled a knife on me with him in the next room in a highchair before. well his mom agreed to pay my water bill which is 70 a month and I could pay that myself if he wasnt here 24/7 running up the bills like the elect. is 100 extra $ a month. in the past lets say 18 months which she didnt take over the water payments 18 month ago but that would be around 1200$ that his family has put out for him to stay here that 35$ for him and 35$ for me it we split the bills 50/50 like most roommates do. he gets food stamps 42$ a week which he uses mostly for himself. well when he moved in I had 3k in the bank put back cause im living at my grannies house supposedly saving money till she passes away. well my problem is it cost me without the water bill 287$. (it would be 320$ a month to each if he was a normal roommate) a month to house him which in 18 months has cost me 5,166.00$.. which has come out my bank account 3k i had saved now im down t 150$ in the bank. I had to take 2k out my retirement fund (which i pulled out to float us 3 months till my unemployment started back in July) to pay the bills here which adds up to the 5k total im out for housing him in the past 18 months. if I would have a regular roommate they would be paying 1/2 the house hold bills. which I cant have because it causes him to miss take his meds and act really crazy cause he says he cant dill with other people. now after 18 months of him being here im out my money I had saved to get me and my son a place when Granny dies. I feel like his family is forcing my to chose housing my cousin or providing for my sons and mine future. granny is 91 not goina be here much longer anyone got any good advice. his family is not goina help me, they want him to stay here, I wanna leave but I have no money right now and if I do he would be here alone with no water or elect or stove or washer or dryer and furniture .. what do I do?
