Do I Have PTSD? It Is Not Only War That Can Do This To Someone.
What causes these terrible feelings?
I was homeless with twin babies and a mentally ill husband. All I did was ask for help and cope with the circumstances.
There was the constant moving from one place to another. My babies needed stability. Somehow, they never wanted for anything. We always had food, milk, diapers, clothes, etc. We were able to survive but it was hit or miss. There were a lot of people that gave their hard-earned cash to help and I know it was because I had babies. Sometimes, people would say they would help then change their minds; embarrassed and needing to cope with the circumstances of their lie.
We finally found a shelter through a friend that really helped us. We lived there for eighteen months. I took some computer courses, found a job, then we moved into an apartment. The twins went to school. I felt like a human again.
I haven’t told you what the cause of the homeless situation was though. Maybe you can guess, but I doubt it.
There are many reasons that cause homelessness. Drug abuse, alcohol abuse, mental illness, inability to cope with stress, financial ruin, divorce, loss of any kind are some reasons.
