Trying to provide

I am a single mom of three children.  I don't really know what to say because i never thought i would have to do this. My childrens father threw us out of a house and changed the locks when i decided to move back home and then took the money out of the savings account because he claimed it was community property. Because his parents own the house law enforcemebt said nothing they could.  He then told me that it was my rresponsibility to figure out how I'm going to take care of our children. He won't even give me their belongings. So I have moved back closer to my family trying to get back on my feet  and to provide for my kids. It has been a struggle because I have really no work experience because I have been a stay home mom for 10 years. However, God has blessed me with a job, however I do not have the finances to put down on an apartment such as the deposit and the rent as of right now. I'm starting my job at the end of August i do not know how I'm going to live or what I'm going to do about my living situation because I do not have the finances to put down for deposit or rent. I feel like a failed as a mother.  My family won't help me ffinancially, but will help with watching the kids.  So I'm asking for any kind of help so that I can get me in my children a place to live and not have to figure it out or struggle until I can get back on my feet. I can't post a picture because im usng my phone and it won't add it for some reason.  I am a real person with 3 children.
