Black Mold

single mommy asked:


I have lived in my apartment for 8 days now and i have told the office that there’s an enormous amount of black mold ALL over the tile of my bathtub. I had told them about it 3 days before i moved in and i see that they came in a caulked over the existing mold because you can see right through it but its still on the walls. there is some in ceiling too. all this issues were suppose to be taken care of before i moved in. can i break my lease if they don’t handle the problem? Im pregnant and i have a young child as well and ive been going to my parents to bathe because im so grossed out by it. can i go to the board of health? im pretty clueless about the whole situation.

My husband left me after 10mths of being married. He had just been laid off and we lost our home and were in the middle of packing when he broke the news to me that he had already gotten his own place. He dumped me and all of my things at my mothers and that is where I am at now, this was 2 1/2 months ago. We have been back and forth on trying to work things out. His big issue is that I haven’t worked and still am not working full time, only 2 days a week. He keeps pushing me to get a job which I am trying to do but it is difficult because I have 2 of my own kids, ages 4 and 5 and we have a 10 month old baby together. Also I have been sick the past 3 years from toxic black mold that was in the first house we lived in and we are involved in a lawsuit with all that. He refuses to give me any money unless I do some work for him in his business. He left me with nothing and the vehicle I drive is in his name and he is always threatening to take that away, as well as my phone. He also trys to keep the baby from me saying I have more important things to do like find a job. He has done so much to go against me and our marriage but then says he is sorry and wants to work things out. I am so tired of the back and forth and feel like he is just jerking me around. But I still want more than anything to work things out so I am afraid to do anything drastic even though he has left me high and dry because once I start all the legal stuff there is no going back. I feel stuck and don’t know what to do.
The worst part is that his parents have outcasted me too and ignore me when I have seen them. Like I have done something wrong, I don’t know what he has been telling them. His kids (9 and 11) make comments too when I see them and it really hurts. He is also bipolar and on medication and an alcoholic and had gotten sober the end of december and has been going to meetings but has had two relapses since then. He said he had made the decision to leave me when he was all messed up so I can’t blame him for that. Also it was his sponser who said it was best to leave me and get his own place so he could get better without all the stress, which I don’t get because your not supposed to make those big changes when you are in recovery. It was too much for him with five kids and losing his job and home and me not being able to work and of course the lawsuit. I always think he is just stringing me along until the lawsuit is over and he can collect.
Five children between us, all girls. They have been heartbroken from this too. Atleast my girls, they were just babies when we all met and grew up with his girls, their sisters, they call them, and don’t understand why they can’t see them.

Fewer than 20 of 120 school buildings remain usable in New Orleans. Teachers and students have re-located. Parents do not want to uproot their children again. They do not want to expose their children to mold, toxic dust, and bad sanitation. What do you think about the reopening of school for the upcoming 2006-07 school year considering the conditions of the school buildings. (Ten points for the best answer)..

My parents moved out a year ago and took my glove with them. Upon finding it, it had some slight green and black mold gunk in the pocket. I wiped it out and such, is there any more I can do or anything on it I should inspect?
thank you
