Mom's house + my house were both recently sold at a "TAX AUCTION". We paid for both houses free and clear YEARS ago. One home has been in our family for nearly 4 decades. Due to the economic climate and both of us suffering from major depression (I have Bipolar and ADHD) we were unable to pull the money together for back taxes within the county's time frame. Two $90,000+ homes both sold for around $4,500 each. The bottom feeder who bought them both stopped by mom's house the other day with the deeds in hand and telling her that he expects us both to start paying rent soon or else we'll be evicted asap. I have no income and mom gets very little and she's totally without anyplace to go. Once kicked out, my only option is to move into a mental health facility, if I can even get into one.

I feel very alone in all of this and just don't know what to do anymore. Things just seem to be getting worse and worse. I use to do some pretty great things in life, from owning my own business's to doing the marketing for a decent sized company. Now, I'm losing my pets and almost everything else and looking into moving into a mental health facility.

A lawyer has been trying to help us, and when he told us there's nothing more he could do to help us I ended up mentioning that we've both been terribly depressed and unable to deal with the paperwork, get the money, etc. and he then told us both to get letters from our doctors saying we've been depressed. He thinks with those letters at the least he may be able to buy us a little more time in the homes before eviction, and there may be a SLIM chance of meeting with the judge and getting our homes back. Does this sound right to anyone?
