Opinion question along the lines of the other homeless persons posts

[skrogman]

I want to relate a very true story and seek your opinions.  This story is very close to me personally.

I know of a family who are unmarried yet living together and have been for years.  The lady of the couple met her former husband (ex-husband, whatever is the proper term) while she and he were in the Navy.

The ex-husband was very abusive to her and her children.  The man she is with now gave her the resources to get away from it and she took him up on the offer and never looked back.

She has a child who is 23 and still living with her and her boyfriend, due to the son's Aspberger's syndrome/Bipolar issues.

The boyfriend has gone blind from sugar diabetes and has been force retired, and because of his blindness, she stays home to take care of him and is not currently working as he cannot read his pill bottles, see the numbers on his insulin vials, etc.

NOW WITH THE BACKGROUND OUT OF THE WAY AND DOWN TO THE ISSUE

The lady of the couple asked the son if he could find a friend or someone with whom to stay over the Thanksgiving holiday so the couple could have a peaceful, relaxing, much needed getaway.

Without saying anything, the son did leave prior to the Thanksgiving holiday.  However, out of anger he went straight to the Section 8 office and made a report that he was kicked out of the home.  They have received Section 8 assistance termination paperwork and have been evicted based on the son's report that he had been kicked out.

Now, with this in mind, if the mother has kicked her son out and the boy is homeless is this horrific or is there a time when homelessness is warranted by your own actions?  In this situation, I don't know if that question matters or not as  shortly the couple will be homeless as well.

Oh, and by the way, this story is of me, my boyfriend and my son.  There will be no Christmas here and we are clueless what to do as his SSD/SSI only totals $700/month and I cannot secure another apartment and pay the rent and bills and live on that and I am looking for a job that pays enough to allow for elder care, however am having no luck because every thing I am finding is offering only about $8/hr.

Any opinions on whether he should have been kicked out or what I should have done or what you would have done as a parent are welcome.  And, having the military background that I have I am able to take all critisisms well, so just tell me.
