I am a single mom of 2. I didn't start out that way. I was engaged. Had 2 sons and when my 2nd son was 5 months I came home to a letter that basically said He never wanted kids and wasn't coming back. At least not until I took him to court for child support. Then suddenly he wanted full custody. We had purchased a condo at the beginning and the taxes and dues kept going up. I paid part of the mortagage but I could never quite get it all paid. I also pay daycare (I have daycare aid, but I still pay 1/4 of my income). They took the house July 5th. I found a house with a long term lease a large yard and a forest on the property. 3 weeks ago I came home from work and the trees were gone. Last weekend they took the driveway. I had to drive around on the grass to get to the house. Now the landlord wants to bring in an appraiser tommorrow. The house is a mess. Between the holiday and then both my sons got sick I haven't even done dishes in 2 days. My landlord has been randomly showing up and "checking" on the house since I moved in. He's really creepy. I'm a private person. I knew the names of my neighbors at my condo but that's it. I didn't socialize with them. I have to find somewhere to live now, but it's christmas. I've checked everywhere and I can't find anything I can afford. I make good money but it's not enough to pay for a 2 bedroom and daycare and no one will rent me a 1 bedroom because there are 3 of us. I can't afford a lawyer to fight him. Ive spent the last 2 days in tears. I though foreclosure was stressfull, but not compared to this. My son just started kindegarten. There is nothing in his school district. I'm going to have to move him in the middle of the year. and that makes me feel guilty and depressed and pissed off. But I also feel helpless. Lawyers won't even meet with me because I can't afford to hire them. I just want somewhere we can stay. Somewhere they won't take away. And I have no idea where to go.
