Homeless with my mother
Me (23M) and my mother (56) have been homeless for about a year. We're currently staying at a friend of hers but we've already been here longer than 2 months and it can't continue indefinitely, so I'm trying to figure out what to do.
I've recently landed a 6 month contract for an office job which will make me about 1100€ a month (this is in italy), but here that's not enough to rent anything outside of a cheap room for students, and unfortunately my mother can't find work due to her age and to the fact she's not been taking care of herself for the past few years (her teeth are in an horrible state). Lately I've been thinking of going off on my own, but I'm worried about my mother because she's started to really depend on me emotionally, and since I already lost one parent to suicide I'd like to avoid any risks.
I'm also worried this line of thought may stem from resentment I have towards her for letting us get into this situation and not telling me anything until the last minute, and may not be rational. Realistically, I think with the money from my new job I could begin to look for the cheapest possible room, which my friends could help me with, but I don't know how I could possibly manage to find a place for the both of us unless she finds a job. Of course even if I did manage to find someplace just for myself I don't know if I could even bring myself to ignore my mother's situation.
I need some perspective, do you think it would be selfish to strive for that or would it be rational? And are there elements I might be ignoring? Although we've had our ups and downs my mother has only ever showed me love, if I weren't so close to rock bottom I wouldn't ever be considering this, but I've started to think it may be the only way out.
