Congratulations! You've officially hit naked rock. Now that you are homeless, broke, and on the streets, what do you do? Everyone familiar with your situation would have you run back to your old pitfalls, the things that have done you harm, much like a dog returning to its vomit. It's quite depressing that people would rather go back to the things that cause them great distress rather than be free and have peace of mind. Sure, not having a roof over your head isn't the most pleasurable experience in life, but you have peace. No one is going to come kick you out of your car (lol). Its paid for. The worst thing that could happen is that you get a parking ticket for sleeping too long and not moving your car on a street sweeping day!
As for being in the predicament itself, no one is responsible for taking care of you but yourself. Therefore, you can dislike what people have done to you in the past, or for things they have done to make your current position a million times worse, or thank them for the limited amount of generosity that they have afforded you. Choose to take the high road. Being angry never helps any situation anyway. Things are said that you don't always mean. Once you say something hurtful, you can't ever retract those words, no matter how many times you say your sorry and you didn't really mean it.
Rather than be angry, choose to use that energy to be productive. Let it motivate you to strive for more, even though you have nothing and no one at this time. Things will get better. There is light at the end of the tunnel, even though your in the tunnel, its dark, wet, cold, and you can't see a thing. You have to gain control of your life. Take the wheel! You should always be in the drivers seat...
