Hello my name is Deborah and I am in serious trouble. I just really need someone to talk to because I am in real fear of losing my home. It is a very long complicated story if anyone cares to read. My family operated a very successful business for 28 years. The problem started in 2005 when my dad, the founder of the business, had to undergo a quadruple heart bypass. He came through the surgery ok only to have trouble later in the night and the doctors had to do surgery again where they discovered he had stage 4 colon cancer. The next year was hell for him as well as the business. He retired from the business and left it to my oldest brother and I to operate. I immediately enrolled in college to obtain a degree in business management but it was too late to save the business. The business had been paying my parents' mortgage and they soon became homeless and were evicted from the home they had built. After racking up 90,000 in credit card bills to keep the business afloat I decided that I could no longer do this and my brother and I closed the business in 2007. I had to file personal bankruptcy and what happened next really threw me for a loop and still does. My brother and his wife decided to kick me out of the business and he started his own business basically "stealing" all the assets that the business had. There was nothing I could do and am still in disbelief that my brother could treat his family this way. To this day, my dad nor I have received nothing from this business of which the assets totaled at least 500,000. My dad has since recovered from colon cancer and is now on kidney dialysis which I believe is due to chemotherapy destroying his kidneys. Ok, now my parents were still homeless living in Texas with a sister who basically attempted to steal their social security and they ended up living in Ohio with a brother. My mother could not live with my brother in Ohio and they moved in with my husband and I. My husband, being the amazing guy he is, renovated our garage into an apartment for them and that is where they now live. My problem is that now I am in danger of losing my house and I don't know what I am going to do. No one knows what I go through every day, the thoughts of feeling like a total loser who went from earning a good wage to earning minimum wage working in a retirement home. I could not afford to go to school any longer so my associate degree has been put on hold and all I am trying to do is take care of my elderly sick parents and give them the best possible life that they have left. I have five brothers and sisters and not one help me with my bills to keep my parents. I am at my wits end and I fear that one day I won't be here anymore because I just cant handle telling my husband nor my parents that we are losing the house. I wish I had someone to loan me about 3000.00 to get caught up so I could quit worrying and start my life over again. The only way I know of to get the house paid off is to die. Now, my gall bladder is not the best and my plans are that if my gall bladder explodes then the house will be paid off but I wont be here. What to do. I wish I had someone to talk to no one cares to listen. I try my hardest every day working whatever hours they give me. I will post more later, time to go have a good cry.....
