    Thanks.
    I am just so upset. I have my 78 year old parents worried to death and trying to raise money to help me. I have my DD1 who should be enjoying her baby trying to help. I have DD2 thinking she needs to give up her independence and move in with me to help me. It's not fair on any of them.
    If I sell the house the equity will cover the business debts and mortgage. Nothing left for me though.
    Therefore it is me who is the problem!
    (don't worry - I won't!).

    Bookie, I can't really say much more then Snags. She is very good with words is our Snags.

    Whatever you decide to do (sell everything or hang on to the house) We are here we are with you. Its frightening this money thing its all every where at the moment. I know you have been fighting for a long time Bookie but fight some more ok? Its amazing what you can do when you have to.

    I 'll pray honey

    xxxxx
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    For the first time ever, I said that 'my friends can't believe what time you arrive and that you never want to spend time with me'. There was a long silence.......followed by 'what has it got to do with your friends'.....

    Thankfully nothing, otherwise he's have myriad of superflous orifices...

    But it has everything to do with you. And he's deflecting again and waiting for it to die down.

    Hardly! All the smiling and small talk is exhausting. Still I've met some important people today so hopefully they'll remember me when I start applying for jobs again ;):D:A

    Bookie, we lost a business when 2 clients went bankrupt on us within the space of a month, we were owed close to £175,000. We sold everything we owned, the business gear the house,. It was a horrible time and I totally empathise. We sold everything we had worked for to spare our own bankruptcy.

    You have had a whole country, no, the whole of the western world pretty much go bankrupt on you. The economy collapsed, it wasn't your fault, you can't stop it. This was done to you, not by you. And, I know nothing I can say will take away what you are feeling. I felt an utter faliure , but we didn't fail and neither did you.

    Snags has said the rest of what I was thinking. My father would have to have run out of park benches who were prepared to put up with him before I'd offer to go and live with him. So you have raised better kids than me too :)

    Hi
    Thank you all for your concern. Life is a little grim with me at the moment and I can't really see a way through it all.
    I have identified the problem though which is a start.

    Defining the exact problem and its extent is half of the problem. Well done you.
