I'm so sorry to hear that he will not give you any money this month. I cannot begin to imagine how horrid that must be. I have been very lucky in that field, and count my blessings, for many are in your situation and it only causes more pain !
I am glad that your FIL is going with you, he sounds like a wonderful and caring man.
Take care and know that my prayers will be with you !
