I make over the threshold and they just ended the pandemic relief stuff. My partner and I struggle moreso because we financially support our parents. When we don’t, their utilities get shut off every other month. Last winter I found my mother in law unconscious in their house while it was ~0°F out. Fun fact: they’re not allowed to shut your heat off in the winter, but if your heat is already off when winter hits, they don’t have to turn it back on
Solidarity, comrade. Glad to hear about your good fortune. I’m very thankful for my partner as well.
The only good post in this thread. Solidarity.
The only reason I'm not in your situation right now is a fucking lucky circumstance involving cheap rent and a very non judgemental girlfriend.
Also, can you apply for EBT/Foodstamps? They've been making it pretty easy to apply since the pandemic and the money is a fucking godsend.

Fuck. Good on you for taking care of them. That's something to take pride in. You're doing awesome, this shit just fucking sucks.
Yeah it sucks. We’ll live though. I appreciate it.
