Why does he always fucking BLINDSIDE me with stuff like this?!

[psyche29]

The short, short version:

I live in my childhood home. It's me, hubby, Mikey, my mom, my dad, and two sisters.

Matt, Mikey and I were fine in an apartment. We moved to the house because Mom hasn't worked since Billy Graham relocated to North Carolina and Dad was struggling to make the mortgage payment. By moving in, we added $700 a month to his income so he wouldn't lose the house.

Then he was laid off from his work, what, two years ago, now? Maybe it's just over one year...

Anyway, he STILL hasn't found a job, doing taxes for H&R Blockhead a third of the year isn't very much, and he's been unable to make the mortgage payments, even with our rent, because he's trying to keep up on other bills.

So a realtor is coming today to talk with him about something about some kind of sale where he's got twelve months to pay off what's owed or the house is no longer his.

When did I learn of this?

Today, when Amanda called because she found something I'd been looking for in the course of tidying the living room.

So now instead of working, I'm ranting here because I'm so, so upset that no one bloody TELLS me anything I might need to know - you know, like, "Oh, you should start looking for someplace else to live," and when I'm done posting this, I'll be busy checking out apartments in our area.

And you know what's even worse? That is the only house, the only place I consider home. I LOVE that house, that neighborhood, that area, I grew up there. And they all know it.

And no one told me.

God, help me.

That really sucks that no one told you! This is just awful, but do you know if there is time to pull it together yet? Like could he get a job and get the money some how??

Come live by me!! meh, it is probably too ghetto.

Oh honey I'm sorry! *big hugs*

Probably just doing the dad thing and trying to protect you not realising you're a grown-up now and need to know these things. I think to our parents we'll always be five years old!

Well bloody hell.

It astounds me that nobody felt it necessary to mention this to you sooner. I really wish there was some way for you to get the money so the house could be yours :(

*sends hugs*

Meh, I'm sorry I cannot help. :( This really sucks for you - keep us updated. I hope you'll find something soon and maybe it will be even more closer to Beth's!

Oh honey, I'm so sorry to hear this. *hugs*
My dad pulled a similar stunt on me a few years back, luckily it was only in a flat he was renting, and it gave Ad and I the motivation to rent our own place, so it all worked out for the best in that instance.

I really hope you find a way to keep the house you're in, as I know how much you love it. But if not, I hope you find somewhere else you'll be happpy. The idea of moving closer to Beth sounds good. ^_^

First off, I'm beginning to suspect your posts don't show up on my friends list... because I know what all your icons look like / what to look for, and I never, never, never see your posts until I actually come to your journal, so I'm always at least a few days late on everything. :-/



*hugs* I'm so, so sorry :-/ He was probably embarrassed, right? But that's not really an excuse when your livelihood is at stake. I hope something works out where you're able to keep the house without breaking your back working. :-/

Oh no!! I'm so sorry - I can't believe he didn't tell you! Hopefully it will work out and you'll be able to keep the house! *hugs*
