Ancaire, a friend of mine went through something similar and she went to a women's shelter. At the shelter, they provided her with counseling of every kind and connected her to social services programs, helped her set goals, gave her toiletries and supplies, etc- really gave her whatever she needed temporarily. Just a thought, there might be help out there for you that you aren't even aware of, and the staff at a women's shelter will know what is out there.
