When I met my husband, I was young and living life and having fun. I only had two good friends and no family. He was great, we fell in love, and married. Soon after, my two friends both moved away and we lost touch, so all I had was him. After two years of trying to have children and not being able to conceive, I did get pregnant but it ended in a miscarriage. After that, he started cheating but because I wasn't working much after multiple surgeries and didn't have anywhere to go, I stayed. Last month, I lost my job and discovered he was meeting women online. I have been applying to job after job but without much experience and no college education, I haven't even been getting any calls, let alone any interviews. I stayed because I had nowhere to go but even though I still made him dinner and cleaned, I didn't 'love' him as a wife should. I stopped having sex so that I wouldn't catch an STD just in case he wasn't being faithful and I barely showed him any affection. Maybe if I had of, he would have just cheated and stayed with me. He just broke it off with me today and he wants everything to be over. He wants me out. I have no income, no friends, and no family.
I'm a little embarrassed I let my life get this way, but I guess I have it better than a lot of people. So, here is the thing. I have a car and it runs okay. It's not paid for, so it will be gone in a month or two anyway, but for now, can I live in my car in Maine? Are there any legal issues I should be aware of? Can I park my car anywhere overnight and sleep in it? I don't drink or do drugs or do anything illegal. Now, I just bought a 9mm today off from someone from Craigslist for protection. My mother and I were homeless when I was a child and we were both raped and I don't want that to happen again. I do not have a concealed weapons permit, but I also cannot afford the class. I want to have the gun in my car for protection, but I don't want to get in trouble for carrying it. Does it have to be out in the open for people to see?
Also, when I cannot afford to pay on my car anymore, am I allowed to go to a homeless shelter? Can I shower at truck stops? It's the last thing that I want to do because I don't want anyone to know my situation right now. I have never been arrested, I don't do anything illegal and I just want to keep it that way. I'm not trying to cause problems, just want to live and make sure I'm never hurt again.
