And, they are dragging their heels because they don't want to lose a penny. I have been arguing with them.

I want it out. Now. But, we do not live in a society where the people come first. So... here I am. The fact that I am disabled and not working for some rich asshole is even more reason to not worry about me, based on their behavior so far.

I hate this.
