Waiting for Money from God

We talked over the 4th of July weekend about the budget and why she hasn't moved into the senior subsidized housing in Blue Springs. With Lisa managing their money, she has saved enough for them to move into one of the apartments. Their names were on the list for several places, but Mom took their names off without telling anyone. She says they're too small and depressing, and has no intention of moving there. When I told her that I don't see any options because she can't afford anything else she became angry and accused me of not having any compassion.

She says she wants to buy a house, and has been out house shopping. To me this indicates that she is out of touch with reality, because there is no way they can get a house loan. Between their lack of credit, their trouble with the IRS, no income (except SS) and no jobs, no one would loan them the money for a house. But she says she knows God will send them money. She says she got the checks and debit card for the bank account because she's waiting for the money God has told her will come.

I know she doesn't want to give up her sewing and her books (their's not room in the apt for them), but it seems to me that they're putting Dad in danger by staying in the trailer. They don't seem to agree or be willing to listen.
