money issues

So, I'm currently unemployed. That kind of sucks because my boyfriend is also unemployed. In fact if it wasn't for my parents we'd be homeless and hungry. I lost my last job about a month ago. I was late too often. Like twelve times in about two and a half months, or so my boss said as he kicked my butt to the curb. But in my defense, only three of those twelve were more than five minutes. I feel like any less than five minutes late just shouldn't count but unfortunately our opinions differ so here I am jobless. It really sucked becuase it couldn't have come at a worse time. I had just emptied out what little money I had in my bank account to pay the deposit, application fee, first months rent etc.. for my new apartment. I talked my mom into paying my rent for next month. My dad is supposed to give me $9600 dollars a year to pay for school as terms of the divorce since he really hasn't done anything for me since I was about eight. He usaully pays in weekly installments that equal up to $800 a month.

I recently come to realize that my father is seriously a cheap bastard. He moans and groans about this damn two hundred dollars a week like it was a thousand. He feels that since he's paying for school and I'm on summer vacation he doesn't have to pay me. I tried explaining to him the difficulties of trying to actually support myself on a part time job and he doesn't seem to get it. If he misses a payment it's not a big deal but if he discovers he overpayed... board up the windows cause a storms a-comin. So currrently I have no food in my house and he's told me that he is going out of the state so he's not sure when he's going to be able to give me any more money. I'm hesitant to spend the fourty dollars I have in my bank account since i have no idea when I'll get anymore money so...
I'm sad
and a litlle hungry.
