I didn't realize you lived in the Washington DC area, which we all know is terribly expensive. I can't believe how much you have been paying for lot rent. The people I know who live in mobile homes around here pay about $200 or less/month.

I thought of two other things that might help. (1)Contact your State Equal Rights division and ask about wrongful terminations. (2) If your husband is unable to work due to disability factors, fill out an application for state vocational rehabilitation services. They can pay for retraining/schooling. I work for DVR, so if you have any questions about this, please let me know.

It sounds like moving in with your mother will give your entire family a little time to think things through and decide what your next steps will be. I wish you all the best and hope that while things look darkest now, you will be able to look back at this moment in time and realize that this happened for a reason and that your family will come out stronger and better off in the (very near!) future.
