BF,
I really hope you can at least email the family member you had mentioned the rent issue with. At least mention to that person (in an email); that you may have misunderstood about the rent; but since there is not much left over, paying rent would really be a hardship and is causing you awful stress and worry.

Possibly your next of kin may just be uncomfortable communicating himself/herself and it has nothing to do with liking you or not.

Hopefully prayers and our concern will give you the added confidence to get this settled asap.

Gerry
