In need of advice

Hello,
In a fog as they say. Reading Lessons but have questions. I seriously need help and see no options or future.
Background
Been with BPD for around 8 yrs. Married for 6. We have a 5 yr old boy. Wonderful kid, very artistic (r not u)
She has gone bathit crazy again. This time there is no way I can solve the situation.
She has a history of drug use. Now she's given up on anti-depressants (paranoia) and started smoking pot (more paranoia). She says she doesn't trust me because I want to start my own blog. I am the only one working (writing blogs for other people) but she insists that she is working too.
She's in the screaming I hate you stage, insisting I move out, though she has no income and is too messed up from trauma to work. Blah blah, you've heard it all before.
Questions:
I have nowhere to go, no friends no family, dead broke, a check coming that will only cover rent, getting food from a pantry.
I really don't believe she can take care of a 5 yr old. I can't leave, can't stay.
Grinding poverty is killing me. Where? What? I'm not an idiot, most of the time, I just can't think.
A shelter? And leave my 5 yr old here? Try to take him away while she is like this? My god, there is no decent option.

Have you talked to a social services counselor about options for you and your child? it may be time to have her removed if the drug use and behavior is destructive.
