    Hi Neas, far from it really - I don't even think I would know how to be a spoilt brat, LOL!! None of my siblings did anything to the house - hence it flooding because the pipes burst as they did not look after it and keep it warm. They are quick enough to critise us being here but never did anything to help mum stop it from falling apart. It is all on that other thread though.

    No-one knows, I have a couple of feelings about the whole thing as to why she wants to sell, she suffered a lot of abuse from my dad - and knowing from what I saw I think shemight need to get rid of it to be able to move on with things in her life. Now everything has sunk in (I still have moments though!) I look at the whole picture and I think she needs to get ridof it so she can get rid of the memories and that part of her life. Having been through the same thing I can totally understand. BUT, I would prefer her to be honest about it rather than saying things to people. She initially told us she was selling as 'she could not afford it' but she pays nothing, we even pay her life insurance which pays the mortgage should something happen to her. She told someone else that she was selling it 'to help us get a council house'. I was mortified when I heard she had told people this and told her that if she could not be honest then she should say nothing at all.

    This has been ery hard, a couple of people on this thread will tell you that when it first started I was worried about her, how she would afford it if she had no buyer and what if she ended up losing it. The reason we are still here is because she always asked us to stay when we mentioned we might move so the vicious circle started - feeling guilty that we wanted to go and then wanting to go and then feeling bad that mum might lose the house if we left - and we kind of get trapped here. But when we finally HAD to go prices are now so high that we cannot afford anything either.
