Im gonna lose my house because of taxes......

Im 41 and still rebuilding. Ive dusted my self off and got back up since i was a kid. emotionally ......that is

I cant afford a apartment, and due to credit, nobody will give me one.

My real parents didnt think enough of me to even try to put the house in my name.

my brother (abuser 1 had taken the papers on the house after mom died)

I cant afford a lawyer.

Friends have dumped me because of my issues. I have only one best friend.

Found out that all the people who said "come to me if you need help financially" were just blowing smoke up my a..

Ive lived my entire life, struggling to stay afloat.

I feel defeated. I feel like a loser. I need a release.

Thanks for letting me vent.

Because if my life keeps going in this direction. I may lose internet soon.

Happy days!

So. what did i learn? people i love, leave......people who offer help dont mean it.

the people who should have helped me didnt. and if i didnt have my husband, I would be here.....alone in chicago. no family.

great.....

I hope things get better for you soon, I understand what you are going through so well.
Try to think of the good things you have, a husband and a best friend, those are priceless.
Take good care of yourself

oh wow!
that doesn't qualify for having a lot on your plate--more like having heaps on a serving platter.

I am so sorry, Colleen...

Would Legal Aid be able to do anything to help about the house?

Please don't break your winning streak

Hang in there ((((((( Colleen )))))))))

With the economy the way it is there must be many people in the same situation as far as money goes. In the UK we have charities and such that give free advice and help with paying bills. Is there any help you can get where you live?

hey there, it sounds like a really bad spot to be in.

But, you have your husband at least. And even if you can't have internet there are public places you can get it too. It would be limited but there are libraries for instance that have some limited access. So don't rule out completely. Reach out for help ... I'm sorry those who promised help didn't give it but keep looking, you might be able to find it.

I don't think you're a loser.

These are hard times. Plain and simple

((((((((((((((((((((((cthomas)))))))))))))))))) Can you call about your taxes and see if you can pay a little each month? I don't think they really want your house especially in this market and may be willing to work with you. I am so sorry you find yourself in this place.

Unfortunately this is not my house. (parents died, with no will or trust) so i cant get an extension.

not happy at all about this, but working on number crunching to see what i can do.

i may work this out. I dont know. I almost wonder why i bother. but i guess thats the survivor in me.

One good trait i guess huh?

me
