I need help we have no food,shampoo,toilet paper,laundry soap.no household necessities.My children are in desparte need of clothing mainly my 6 year old son and my 16 year old son,my 12 year old daughter recieved a coat,shoes and 5 outfits ,my 6 year old recieved a coat and 1 outfit,my 16yo 3 short sleeve tshirts but thats all the help i've been able to find.I appreciate the help i was able to find,however my 16 year old isnt fitting his old clothes at all,its so cold to be wearing short sleeves he has no coat,the soles are falling off of his shoes and everything my 6 year old has is so small on him.To make things worse i fear that all the stress over the past few years has ended my marriage,we've been living with his mom for years now,which causes so many problems n throughout time things have changed .Theres 3 bedrooms here,my mother inlaw has 1,my husband has taken his own room and deadbolted the door he never comes out and the third bedroom they use for storage myself and my children share a room in the basement.I dont know what to do,i see a mental health doctor just to be able to deal with the way things are.Its hard everyday he tells me to get out i dont have anyone to help me.I feel so alone and unwelcome here.I had found a part time job but then everyone was laid off within a few weeks.Being a housewife since i was 15years old i have so little experience.The things he says to me make me feel totally worthless.Thanks for listening i just feel so lost,if anyone can offer any help please let me know.Prayers and advice are always welcome,ty.
