This good news but stressful at the same time.  I have to go through the orientation and and all the paperwork.  Turn in the papers I need to need to and they send me my voucher.  

Dealing with beauracrats and paper work sends my anxiety through the roof.  Then I need to find and apartment that excepts HUD vochers.  Then there's the packing and clean up.  I've bean dreading that.

Enough with the negative and with the positive.  My son and I will have our own place.  I won't have his grandma treating me  like a slave.  I will be in the same county as my brother and his kids.  I miss seeing them.

I now realized why I feel so nervous about this.  It's triggering PTSD and here's the story.  I was going though my big nervous breakdown and was diagnosed Bipolar 2.  I had just lost my job.  My sister-in-law Beth, to further hurt my ex husband.  Beth filed for child support because her and my brother were taking care of my son because I was in bad shape.  They couldn't find his dad so child support came after me.  Beth and I had to explain to them that they didn't want the support money from me because the knew I was poor and they wanted his father to pay.  Child Support closed the file.

I spent a week in a psych ward around this time.  The day I got out of the hosp. was my yearly housing eval.  My caseworker retired so they had me speak to Aubrey the supervisor.  I told her my son was staying with family because of my mental condition.  She asked if he would be gone more than 6 wks.  I answered no.  Aubrey told me if was going to be gone less that 6 wks, it didn't count.

I start a new job that only lasted 3 wks.  Long story short, I applied for additional rental asst. with my new cw, Melissa.  While processing this app. she found an open child support case for me.  I was told it was closed.  Melissa said she couldn't find a note on it and implied I was liar.  I explaned I told Aubrey and didn't know why she didn't make a note of it.  Melissa did't believe me and the amount of help wasn't increased.

I had to beg my dad's live in gf to let me move in with my dad and her.  I took a lot of covincing but they let me move in.   They still live in the house I grew up in.
