I've come to the realization that my marriage is toxic and not working out for anyone. I have two children 6and 3. 6year old I in school and 3 year old is staying at home with dad while I work fulltime. I make 32k and I get 7k deducted from my paycheck for health insurance in installments so my take home pay is 25k. Spouse is pretty much dragging his feet on getting getting a job. We live with his parents and basically were poor.
So here I am. We can't stand eachother and argue almost everyday. I'm secretly making plans to leave because this is not fair to anyone. I have applied for childcare assistance and got denied. Food stamps got denied. All because my income is 32k and they don't take into account that I pay 7k for health insurance, I make too much money... And I feel like I'm going to go insane. How do I leave with only 25k income. Rent around here is around 1k for an efficiency and childcare would be an expense of 190 weekly. I feel like I should just give up. At the same time I feel like maybe it's not so bad. If I lay low we won't argue. If I just do what he wants maybe he'll get a job. I'm lost. Does anyone have any resources that might be able to help? I also checked the HUD website and looked for low income Apts and there was nothing in my area.
Edit: I deleted some identifying info. Ty. Also I'm in broward county, Florida.
