I took the bar exam the last three days of July. About five minutes after I finished the test my boyfriend who I had lived with called to tell me that while I was off taking the exam he had moved out and we were finished. Also, he had gone ahead and canceled our trip to the Bahamas that I had spent hours and hours planning. My "bar trip." I returned home to find everything gone, except for my clothes which were in piles because he took the dressers, and some things which were obviously mine such as make-up. But other things like my pillow, blankets, towels, all kitchen items, and even a laptop were taken. I have been frantically searching for housing for the past week but have not been able to find anything. I am starting work next week for a non-profit and can't afford much in terms of rent. I can't afford to stay where I am because he was paying a greater share of the rent, and the rent on the place is about $3000 a month. My sister is moving 800 miles to live with me so we can rent a one bedroom and share the cost, but even then I am afraid I can hardly make ends meet. I am looking for suggestions for how to cope. I realize I am mostly in shock still, but I wonder if anyone has any ideas for what to do, how to survive when your entire world changes on a dime. And I also looking for reassurances that things like this don't normally happen, that you can trust people.
