Been staying with my mom for the past year and a half after my living situation from with my brother fell apart and he moved off to Texas. Her ex husband (who she's divorcing) wants me out of the house in June. I currently live in the Bay Area making 42k a year and really can't afford to live here, if I asked for a raise and scraped to get by I guess I could but realistically it's not much of an option. The field in which I work I can make that same rate of pay pretty much anywhere outside of this area but the Bay Area is what I've known as home so the idea of leaving causes me quite a bit of stress.

I got into a relationship while in this stage of my life with a woman who is a single mom who I've been dating for a year now. She suggests and seems firm on us moving to Sacramento but after visiting our states lovely capital I'm less than excited about this prospect. As things have improved between my brother and I, I have been looking into housing in Texas and seeing what I could get out there vs a small place in a rough area in Sac I feel as if it's a no brainer to go there, but as my gf has her son and has split custody this would be a problem. The whole thing stresses me out and I really don't know what to do.

That is stressing me out.
