your mom should qualify for unemployment or disability. Get on the website. http://www.ca.gov/Employment/Unemp... and see what she qualifies for. Go to church and ask for help there. It is amazing how people will step in if you just ask.
Stay strong. God Bless.

Jessikah, Sweetie, you have a life also, you are still a child. Its your mothers responsibility to take care of you. I understand that she has had some hardships, who hasnt. She needs to pull herself up by her boot straps and step back into life and take care of you and herself. When she took on the role as parent it didnt say that you dont have to be a parent when you get sick or loose your job. You are parent all the time. I have had hardship. I got divorced had no job, my father died all at the same time. I also had two kids that needed me. I was sad and depressed yes, but I did what I was suppose to do as a parent. I took care of my children. I got a job. I keep going. I didnt let lifes little set backs drag me down. Your mother needs to talk to someone. She needs therapy. IM sure she can find it at a church. Just have to ask. And PF123 had a great suggestion. She should qualify for assistance. She has to just apply for it. Good Luck sweetie, I hope all works out for you.

I agree with someone else. You have to have a life too. Your mother sounds like she needs help. If she isn't going to seek it then you should. I'd contact someone at your school or in the county to come help your family out.
