e-gad: Thank you so much for reading this- your words mean a great deal.

Fraiser: You're always so kind! Money as of right now isn't a great issue- we're on our feet and have more than we've ever had before (thank you for the sentiment)

...I guess I'm really just under a pile of concerns...my worst memories are in that house...then the area is so different now, I don't know where anything is, even if I did, I don't have a vehicle to take me there while my partner works... I'm surrounded by the property of a bully now (literally-all the houses on my block have sold out) and I'm terrified of doing the wrong thing and getting in a confrontation- I can barely face a bag boy, I can't imagine what will happen if I'm in an argument with an angry man. Then, on top of that, it was a bad area when I was growing up, about a week after acquiring it- it was broken into and someone stole the copper wiring. COPPPER WIRING. I'm afraid to be home alone, and something similar happening...even more so to leave the cats there and something happen to them...people hate cats sometimes to a horrible degree.

We haven't moved in, so no one's complained about the cats. We're building a nice room for them in the back- so that would be one cat that is a permanent addition to my home, and three fosters. It's not as if I intend to always have four cats, I want nothing more than to find a good, safe home for the three ladies we're taking care of. But I know that will take a while, and after they go, it won't be long until we find more. We've fostered three litters and two other adults before, and we don't intend to stop. I'm looking into getting a license or permit to be able to continue to do this, but we need their area fixed first.

I know most of my fears are worst case scenarios, but I haven't had the best of luck- to quote my partner "I don't believe in luck...but you have bad luck."
I will look into the lawyer suggestion, if anything just to give me some security and let me know how goofy I'm being.
Thank you so much for this- if anything talking about it has really helped; I haven't spoken to anyone about this in great detail. You're a grand friend!
