Ranting and Raving Mad

So here's my sad story:Malachi and I have a roommate who has the 2nd bedroom in our apt. All three of us are on the lease.I'm planning a homebirth and am due within the next couple of weeks, so Mal knocked on her door to ask her if she and her boyfriend were going to be around during my due date. She says, "Well, actually, we're getting married in about two weeks, so I'll be moving out."So we now have 2 weeks to move out (as we can't afford the rent on our own) and Mal has work/school 60 hours a week and I'm 8.5 months pregnant. Plus, there's a $500 fee for breaking our lease and some huge fees for leaving without giving 30 days notice. And I know she won't pay any of those fees, which means Mal and I will have to even though we don't have any extra. Plus, now that we'll be roommateless we'll have more expenses and I'll have to cut my maternity leave short and go back to work asap to cover our expenses. I'm so angry and frustrated I could cry. I don't want to move 8.5 months pregnant and be living out of boxes when I have the baby. I don't want to put my baby in day care and have to go back to work. I don't want to be stressed out this far into my pregnancy. Why can't anything just go the way its supposed to? Why are people willing to screw you over and leave you in a hopeless situation without a care in the world? How come even though I do what I can to help other people out I'm always theone getting kicked back and dicked over? Why does it feel like even when I do things right and try to make wise decisions everything blows up in my face? What do I have to do? Be a bitch? Be lazy, quit work and sit on welfare? Take advantage of people? What do I have to do to have some stability and peace? What do I have to compromise? My integrity? My faith? My morals? What do you people want from me???
