Hi BF,
Having the roof over our head being threatened is certainly one of the biggest stressors we can have. I'm feeling your pain over this situation.

As usual, the gang have given you terrific advice. If you are anything like me, when I have to discuss these sensitive issues with my family, I get emotional or teary and find it difficult expressing myself clearly.
My suggestion, if you find it difficult to talk about what is going on or don't want to have to be questioned too much, maybe email or write to them?
As was mentioned, they may not have a clue how this is pinching your finances.
Big hug,
Diandra
