<prompt> Human: This post is written with love and some facts altered. Its being written from the perspective of my homeless 29 year old female cousin. rpersonalfinance, please give your honest advice andor tough love.Im currently homeless and living out of my car in South Carolina. My 60 year old mom kicked me out of her town house almost two months ago for he-saidshe-said reasons. My dog and my cat live in the car with me. I have less than 500 to my name and I make 10 an hour waitressing, but my hours have been reduced to less than 20 hours per week. I have no car insurance, but Im still driving.-My mom will not allow me to return. She is in the process of filing a restraining order against me.-My dad lives in Ohio and is low income and not working. His brother also just passed away. He will only allow me to come if I do not bring my dog and my cat.-My older brother lives in Ohio and recently found out he is expecting a baby. He is facing some charges in the court system and is also out of steady work right now. He could possibly help me but will not take my dog and my cat either.-My uncle well call him Jack lives in Ohio. He is in his 60s, had a successful career, has investments and owns his own town home. He bought me the car that Im sleeping in. He bought my phone and pays my phone bill. He has pleaded for me to come live with him. He wants to help me start a career in Insurance sales. He wont let me bring my dog and my cat.I dont have much more family and I have no real friends that can help me. Everyone tells me to go live with Jack, but he wants to be too controlling of my life. He thinks he knows whats best for me. And he wont let me bring my dog and my cat. He said I need to put them in a shelter and that having them live in my car is cruel.I take my dog for a walk every day and we explore the towns. I drive to another town over to shower 3 times a week. I only work about 20 hours a week and am trying to figure out how I can afford my own apartment. I make less than 1000 per month. I bought my dog and my cat 5 years ago. I have enough money to buy them food and water. They are my responsibility and it is wrong for me to put them in a shelter. I need to continue moving forward and find a way for us to live together.I graduated high school. I did not go to college. I have been waitressing for several years. I dont like waitressing as much as being in the kitchen. I asked to stop waitressing and work in the kitchen more. My hours keep getting reduced. My long term goal is to buy my own house. I havent thought about how I will do that. About a month ago I was sick and I had to take out a payday loan for 400. I have to pay back 9 weekly payments of 70. I just sold my guitar yesterday. Today Im not working and Im at the store looking at buying a new guitar.I am living in my car. I park the car in Walmart or restaurant parking lots. The cops have come to talk to me because of my stupid family calling them. Dont they have anything better to do? I cant afford car insurance. I buy a pack of smokes occassionally. My teeth are really hurting and causing me to miss shifts at work. I dont know how Im going to live but I need to keep moving forward and I cant give up my pets. They are my family.  <response>: Clearly the pets are not worth being homeless over. Sure theyre nice luxuries but cmon.The fact that Jack had rules and wants to impose some control sounds great. Living without his rules clearly didnt work out so hot if it resulted in living in a car.Jack or bust.
