Can she move in with you?
I don’t know
I think you will just have to help her out for a while
I’d try to get her to move in temporarily with a family member and help her find a job. This will give her a sense of accomplishment and a means to make a living and live on her own eventually.
You can’t make someone change that doesnt think they have a problem . . . so until she sees she needs to change you are wasting your breath and time . . . .
She needs to get a professional to pay off her debt, then get her to move in with you, then take her to a emotional therapist to help her get her mind straight. For a job, just try to see if she can do a work at home job and that way the boss wont have to meet her or anything in person, just on the computer. Good luck!!
i can tell u this i get disability and i get less than 650 a month i live in a 3bdrm 2 and half bath townhome. . . really got to make that dollar stretch but im happy having my own place ur sister has to want help before anything to work. . good thoughts for u and ur family
Tell her that her behavior is not very nice, and that she should get some help. I would recommend counseling, in your case.
I wish you the best of luck!
Be there for her. That is the most important thing. She needs to feel like people care and that she matters. She is having a hard time obviously. She has been through alot and trying to sort out who she is and her emotions. Her temper I know nothing about, that may be deep seeded anger from something, try to get to the bottom of it and make her understand that he may have died but she is still here and has many opportunities open to her to make a better life for herself, but she has to want more for herself (self worth). She needs a leg up, something that will get the ball of good feeling and optimism going. She needs to have one good thing accomplished so she realizes she can plow forward. I do not know where she lives, but there are many decent places to rent even cheaper than 800 that could get her in the right direction. I commend you on being “a brother” I have two brothers who were and are not there for me. Just be her brother and someone she can turn to to build her up. Good luck and god bless!
Her bad temper and depression are probably related to her desperate situation.
She needs a break – and her family and friends need to help her get back on track.
Be there for her. Help her get counseling.
I am in a similar situation. I have been on disability for 10 or so years. . What ticks me off about it is The idiots in the government only allows you $800. what on earth can you do with that? I am not allowed in the private sector . I am not allowed anything. I just began working and I am off the goverments back. My only advice ia don’r take ANYTHING hte governmentr gives you. They will run youir life until you die. Get off medicare. gret off welfare get off of anything that uses an anacronym. I just got my first check. It was as good as gold. I wish you the best though.

heres the deal first she has to sit down and budget out her funds in writing in a journal. (rent,food,personal items,etc) as far as moving in with someone(ex. family member) if she has a bad temper then she might not be able to do so. if she receives disability she could go to her psych office and ask for help with work and living. thats 1, 2 she needs to find a place like a studio apt for llike $400 a month including utilities,3. budget out what she needs for food a month or she can go and apply for an ebt card. now she has $400 left. take $100 set it aside, take $200 and pay what she can to take down some of the debt her husband left and take the last $100 and bargain shop for personal and house items. Now this is just to start, she needs to go to a psychiatrist office if she is receiving benefits and they have assisted living programs as well as work programs. your sister isnt a basket case she just needs love, support, god, and to know that someone is there to help her throught these hard times, try placing yourself in her shoes if you can and maybe you will see her differently. i know from experience, its not easy. oh and as far as housing programs,section8 is a 5 yr wait and low income housing might just be too. but try the doctors office i know they can help her if she truly wants it and needs it. this is where god and family really counts, if you need help with the budgeting on a fixed income please believe i can truly help and all that i ask is that you not only help your sister but 2 other people who may need it. Best of luck.
