A Sad State Of Affairs

I found out today that my in laws are most likely going to be losing their house. It’s a heart break, but there is nothing in our bank account to help them with. My father in law hasn’t even told my mother in law about this, and I think holding on to this alone is literally killing him. They have a home to move into. It’s completely paid for, and a very nice home for the two of them. It ISN’T however, their home! They’ve lived in this home for 9 years and have loved every minute of it. They have a huge yard with a swimming pool for the kids. But they have been helping two of their sons and that help has ruined them financially.

I think it’s imperative that my mother in law finds out and finds out soon. I think she would much rather have her husband stress free and live with the disappointment for a year or two until they are back on their feet and the real estate market is better. Then they can sell the older home and buy something beautiful again. These may just be the last few years of this man’s life, lets try to remove some of the stress from him. She will be disappointed of course, but again, I think she would rather have him happy and alive then hiding this secret from her while he tries to figure something out!

    That is sad to hear, I hope that he comes clean with her. Keeping secrets is never good for a relationship!

    Hopefully the economy will get better soon and people will be able to regain their homes.

    They couldn’t sell the house they already own to help keep the one they have? Hope things work out in the end.
