Hard times ??

Well a least with the current story of my life, I wish I could write something positive even inspirational. With all the current difficulties going on..i.e my present dilemma of finding decent housing, getting help with my problems,possibly needing to relocate, taking care of aged family members how can I write about this
stuff?

I still having problems with the situation I left in a previous S.R.O (single room occupancy). The hotel that's trying to hook me up with one of their tenants, where I 'vie had to file complaint with the State of California..with some avail..but because of outsiders and some pressure from other tenants and no back-up from the State I decided to left that Hotel. At that time I was getting threats subtle and not so subtle, that I couldn't go to work, or that I would be assaulted,wounded (so I couldn't work), or that someone in my family (mom) would be hurt and that I had to have sex with some guy in the Hotel (The Oaks Hotel).

At that time Hurricane Katrina was coming to New Orleans (the name of the property manager there was named "Katrice".

I started seeing the big picture of things in spite of being within one block of the Federal building, State building (just less than 25 ft), and City hall, all this drug dealing, prostitution, was going on right under there noses and no one was doing anything about it....at least my complaints seemed to fall on deaf ears. So it seemed a good idea to get out of there, but I was worried about my mother, whether or not those people were going to actually carry out there threats, on me, or my mother, but I had to stick around if I wanted to qualify for retirements benefits on my job which was in Jan 2006,at that time I would be able to obtain the (starting sum) money set aside for my retirement...But whoa now at the Oaks people (outsiders) were threatening to wound me (so then I couldn't work at, or even qualify for my retirement package).

Staying at the Oaks either meant I was going to have to submit to the "outsiders" , confront them, or move away..I choose to move away, that seemed the most sensible choice, but I wasn't moving very far away maybe a third of a mile away, but near the local Police Station in a seemingly quiet Hotel near Chinatown. Seems my plan was good, I'd stay in this hotel for a while and hoped things would quiet down, if those guys were going to get me , they still would be able to and maybe not have to retaliate against my mom, maybe that sounds alittle naive. My mom entered this equation when she moved into a bigger house in the city (2 story, 4 bedroom house) and was first staying there with my, sister and her daughter. Then my Sister moved out leaving my mom there all by herself...So I started hanging out at my Moms house alittle more (I was worried about her protection) , but this must have gained the attention of the local outsiders who then learned I have a mother that they could use as leverage.

What kind of self-respecting criminals would use a persons mother as leverage? Either very desperate ones or very stupid ones, as you figure if local thugs start going after loved ones this in the very least invites retaliation. I'd think most Brothers or smarter than that, and honorable enough not to do that kind of crap...unless someone else is pulling there strings.... But I don't think its a line I'm not ready want to cross over.

Con't??
