Sidenote: KITTIES!
So. At 18 years old, after high school and half a year of college, i dropped out and got kicked out because of it. My grandmother isn't a very nice person. I lived in my vehicle for a couple months and then got into an accident and my grandma took me back. She kicked me out again a few months later and I've essentially been couch hopping or homeless since then.
At 19 i met an amazing man.
We have been together since the day we met. We met online! I have never been happier with an online date than this guy. After a few days of talking and a four hour phone call, we met. I stayed the weekend and the people I was living with at the time, 45 minutes away, were getting evicted. So I have literally been with this man since the day we met.
We ended up living with my grandma for a bit. She absolutely hated him. For no reason! She wanted to claim that he stole soda from her. A whole case minus the four cans we had for thanksgiving. She hated him so much that she made him sit in our room for christmas. CHRISTMAS! Like, how could anyone be that heartless on a holiday? Phases me. But we couch hopped for a while, about six months, then my grandma took us back in. We had no other choices.
We lived with a lady with kids. She went AWOL after i asked her for half of the rent we paid since we weren't going to be living with her anymore. She threw her hamster cage across the room and a,high chair.
We eventually ended up living with a lady with five kids of whom I would be the nanny. Few months go by and her water heater freaks out and starts flooding the basement. She blamed my five pound cat on turning the dial to all the way hot. When it was her children playing in there. So she kicked us out because she refused to believe her "angel" children would ever play where they aren't supposed to.
From there we were homeless for six months. We caught a three month break that ended in September and we have been homeless since then. Fab life huh?
So yeah. Sitting here in the van with my kitties trying to keep them warm as i find things to do from my phone to make money while the boyfriend works.
I want to start an "Ask a Homeless Person" blog. So please, if you have questions for me, list them out and I will Address them as I get them.
Love and Light
Rae
