Why is it right when you think everything is going to be ok. Something happens that really turns your world upside down? Last May I got a phone call that I needed to go see my Dad. He was in the hospital! So I packed a few things and off I go and when I got to the hospital I find my Dad in really bad shape, I knew he was dying even though no one would say so. My Mother had been sick for many years and past away in 96, and I thought that was difficult having to care for her knowing she was going to die within a couple of years. But seeing my Dad who only 6 months before was 190lbs was now 116lbs was so devastating I wasn't sure if I could handle it. Since I live about 230 miles away from him, I went to visit him every week for 2 days for 6 weeks. After I saw him the first time, when I got home I was even in more shock, the man I have been with for 8 years had sold items that belonged to me. I could not and still don't understand what happened. After my secound trip to visit my Dad, I was beatin up by his 2 daus that I helped raise. They are now 23 and 20 yrs old! I did nothing wrong for them to do this to me. I called the police and filed a report and the D.A. just now put out a warrant on the 2 girls. And during the trips to see my Dad and going to the funeral service. I had to go with my face severly bruised. And when I was home I was left by myself all day and most of the night. I have been living in my home behind locked doors and going no where. Here I thought this man loved me, I would cry telling him I really needed him, he would hug me and off he would go. My brother who was worried about me came to stay for a month so I wasn't alone. He couldn't believe how I was being treated and it was very difficult for him to watch me be in so much pain. Then one night I was served with a paper saying my Brother and I had 60 days to get out. My brother left but since neither him or I really have no place to go I stayed behind. I've asked this man that I thought we were going to be spending the rest of out lives together why? Why are you doing this to me? He tells me he loves me we have cried together and the reason for me having to leave is because his 23 yr old dau. wants to move back in. And his father is putting pressure on him to get me out. I just don't get it! Until one night I got a call saying he had been arrested for drugs. And believe me I never saw that one coming. I honestly was starting to believe he was seeing someone else. But somehow I'm being blamed and I don't know why. His family has never had anything to do with me, they don't know me at all. I guess the love he has for his drug is stronger than the love he says he has for me. I'll be 53 soon and to have to start over again scares the hell out of me. I haven't worked in 9 yrs, I have no money , no car. I have a housefull of furniture that I had when I moved in. So now I'll be moving in with my oldest dau. and her husband and 5 kids who themselves are struggling. I don't want to be a added burdon on them or anyone else for that matter. I feel like I have been to hell and back these last few months. And can only hope and pray some how , some way I can be able to get up on my own two feet once again. Thank you to everyone who reads this post and when you say your prayers say one for me.

My first post was for need of a car and any way to make some money to buy a car. I think I found a way but I'm not sure how I can do it. Which is this: my husband was on State Disability last year which we can not claim as income. I have been collecting vintage jewelry for a few years now and have been wanting to sell it on ebay but yet to do so. But what my husband and I did do is through out the year we did sell some jewelry to a few people with a total of about $3,ooo.oo we also sold our Jeep Wrangler for next to nothing and our jet boat that we had bought on E-bay a couple of years ago. For a Total of $2,500.00. We also had a couple of yard sales during the year that we sold some very nice things for next to nothing but made about $400.00 on each yard sale. I have been told that this is income but I don't know how to show it. Does any one know if I can claim any of this as income and if I can how do I do it with out a 1099 or a w2!

I just don't know what else to do. I know times are hard for most people. And I really don't know what to expect from writing about my needs and problems but here it is. I really need help getting a car! I have been without transportation for almost 5 years now. I really need to get back to work. I have been a private caregiver for almost 20 years but was disabled in 2001. My husband hurt his back over a year ago, his state disablility ran out and we are now applying for his SSI and SSDI. We have had to go on Welfare we get 400.00 a month in food stamps and 465.00 in cash aid a month. My husband has a 16 year old son who is living with us.. We are barely making our house pymt., and we have been getting behind on our utilities, we don't use our furnace to keep our gas bill down. (and this has been a cold winter). We have had to let the rest of our bills go for now. We recently came in contact with a guy who works at a impound lot and he told us we could pick up a reliable vechicle for $1000.00. I have sold just about everything of value that we have the only thing else possible is our furniture or our computer but really I would be lost with my computer. We live in a small town with the bigger cities 25-30 miles away in any direction. I know I would be able to get work but just have no way to get there. I'm 52 years old and getting more depressed as each day goes by. Please if anyone can help me out, perhaps a loan or some other possible way of making some fast cash I would greatly appreciate any help in this matter.
Sincerely
52 and not getting any younger
