I wasn't sure where to post this, but i needed to talk to someone and this was all i really have for that. In November of 2007 i moved with 3 friends to an apartment far away from home. Over time one moved out and i have been with the other two since. Unfortunately all three of us where working at the same place, a labor construction thing, that rno longer needed us at the end of December 2008. During the entire month of January we have all looked for jobs and found none. I can return to my original without many problems, and the same is true for one of my other roommates. But my other roommate has no other friends or family to go to. To make things worse because of the way my family is they would not take him either. The only thing I have felt the past day or two has been depression and kept me from posting as frequently as Gaston or Shan Yu. I feel like i have no choice but to abandon someone who trusted me enough to move away with me, and now when he needs help I am completely useless. What kind of person am I? What do I do? I'm sorry to trouble anyone with this, I really don't like making people sad. Thanks for listing or reading or just thank you for giving me a place to post this. good night.

Whoa! Okay! First off, you are NOT a bad person. This sounds like a difficult situation (to put it mildly) but you are in a sticky situation. It's hard to be like a 'support' for someone who really trusts you and you know it's not going to be alright. I recently lost my best friend to anorexia, and having to sit in a hospital almost every day and hear her saying; 'I'm getting better Yulia, you will come back tomorrow, because I will be better right?' And knowing that one day you won't go back to see her was awful. But anyways, enough about me, lets get back to the main point.
My advice would be to first have a good discussion with your friend, if you haven't already. Obviously this is going to be sensitive, because he has no friends or family, but if you both know where you're heading then it gives you more to work from. Talk to your family. I know, families can be a pain, but some softening might do the trick. If this doesn't work, then don't try and work out the problem by yourself. Talk to your other two friends and see if they have anything to offer. Even if it's temporary, your friend can work out something in the end.
If there is no way you can find a place for your friend, why not try moving together into somewhere more suited so you can both stick together. Try looking for jobs, and I mean, literally anything. Look absolutly ANYWHERE because something will always crop up.
Well, it looks like I've vented a little too. Good luck with your problems and seriously, don't make yourself into the bad person. I've tried it and it doesn't work xD
