Also how do we find out who won the previous day?
We actually lived in that house for 21 years, and 7 years ago we couldn't make the mortgage payments anymore, so it was my dad's hard work representing himself in court that kept us in the house. I really admire him for that. He has a habit of claiming that we don't appreciate him enough, and I think that's dumb because he didn't tell us about it until about 2 years ago. But he's done all the research and read so many legal documents and found so many ways to delay the company from kicking us out, it's really incredible. But it was stressing him out so much and giving him nightmares.
Honestly, I'm really relieved to be finally out of that house. I was ready to move out at the start of this year, but couldn't because I don't make enough money to support myself. That house was really run down, we had leaks in my closet and my window, and in the office, and just yesterday when we went back to get more stuff, part of the garage roof actually caved in. I had a lot of bad memories and negative feelings in that house and really I was ecstatic to get out.
But it was really nerve wracking to think we only had a week to do it. Thankfully the woman who bought our house kept giving us more time to move our stuff and look for a new place to live.
As for the last question, winners are always posted on the 3rd post on the first page.
Zen asked: How are you dealing with the stress and other negative feelings?
As I mentioned above, I was really excited about the whole thing - there was one house we were looking at that I just fell in love with. I wanted to live there SO BADLY. But the seller's realtor kept delaying and not answering our offers, not even with a counter offer. My dad had to borderline harass them just to get them to make a counter offer, and they asked for almost 2 times the monthly payments that we were offering. In the end, they refused to sell us that house, and that's when the stress and negative feelings really got to me.
It doesn't help that I developed depression late last year, and I'm still fighting it, but the day that we found out that they refused to sell, I kinda broke down crying for basically an entire afternoon. If it wasn't for Stormphyre I would have been a lot worse off. <3
So I guess the short answer is... I don't deal well with the stress and negative feelings. I see a psychologist for that. LOL.
boomboom39 asked: how does it feel to have to leave your home and not know where your going to end up next? It must be awful.
Again, I was excited to leave that house - and it didn't sink in for quite a while that we "didn't have anywhere to go" until that seller refused our offers on that awesome house. Actually, there was a second house that was smaller, but still alright, that we were going to offer on if the other one fell through - and that one ended up falling through, too. At that point I really felt the dread of, like, "are we going to be homeless? are we going to have to live in my grandma's camper? am I going to have to crash my friends' apartment and live there for a while?" So, yeah, at that point, it felt like dread and uncertainty and panic.
But then we got approved for this mobile home, and my dad (the hero) again had to basically hound and harass them to get all our paperwork through faster. He actually came out here and sat in the mobile home park's office and made sure they were working on our situation haha. Once I found out that we had a place to live, I was really relieved. And it's a really, really nice home, too. The mobile home stereotype is really silly. This place is beautiful.
iheartjimmypop asked: why did the woman that they sold the company to want you out of the house so badly?
Well, that's not quite what happened - the woman bought our house from the mortgage company. It went into foreclosure (I think, or something...) and got auctioned, and she bought it for about $80,000 or something. She actually paid that money and got the deed/ti
tle whatever from the bank and owned the house we were living in. She wanted us out so bad because she was basically paying for us to stay there for free. My dad fought her in court, too, for over a year, until the judge finally threw us out. And then we had an official unavoidable eviction, and my dad appealed it and they said nope get out.
