Cairegiver, welcome to the forum. One question, do you have a signed contract with the lady? If not, then the lady probably figures since she gives you a room to live in that she doesn't need to pay you, which is wrong on her part.


Best to pack up and leave, giving the lady two weeks notice. If she has a Social Worker, let that person know you are leaving.

Move out and save yourself.

Is it her home? Then transfer the utility bill into her name, move out, and get a real job with real wages rather than being exploited like this.
