Dear Friend,
I hope that Emergency Services comes through for you very soon.
I remember that you have equipment and stuff that you care about in the house too.

Call legal aid. You might have rights that you don't know about.
And they can buy you some time I hope.

It is going to work out for you. I know it is. I wish you could stop worrying.
I understand about some dysfunctional people...they have their own pain and at times just want to inflict on others. If you can believe it I started feeling compassion for my parents in dealing with a bipolar daughter. My mother had told me let the state take care of me when she had it in her means to provide for me. You have to get out of their way and place yourself in a situation where you don't need anything from them. They can inflict just too much pain and anxiety. Emergency service will find you a home you can afford along with your kitty cat. YOU WILL BE OKAY

I'm sorry to hear your family is once again putting you in a difficult situation.

I'd have to do some checking but since you have no written lease it would make it extremely difficult for your BIL to collect money. I am guessing you have some sort of verbal agreement....Just know in many areas that a verbal agreement is just as binding as a written agreement.

If he took you to court it would be his word against yours as to any rent or non-rent agreement. The fact that he has allowed you to live there as long as you have without rent and now coming up with some kind of back rent owed most likely would never pass with a judge.

I agree with the others... you need to contact Legal Aid.
Check your PM's.. I am sending you a link with an 800 phone number.

Dear Steve,
I am so sorry that your family continues to give you so much grief.
It is unethical of them to do this to you.
This is causing you to suffer....maybe you could call legal aid today and get some support/answers and then take a nap if you can do that.
I am sorry that this is happening to you....your family is being cruel to you and they know your challenges. It is down right abusive, maybe adult protective services should be involved...I don't know.

Some things.

First Adult protective services might be able to help you get to the
top of the waiting list. I believe this might constitute that for one thing.

Next I definately would call legal aid. See if there is anything they
can do to help.

Remember if this is something that would be considered to put you
homeless. You would move to the top of any waiting list.

So you might need to really look into these things too.

Hugs and thoughts coming.

((((Brokenfriend))) ... all I can say about what I'm readying here is WOW.

Overwhelming support coming your way!

Get some sleep my friend...

Dear BF,

I'm so sorry for your troubles. The folks here have given you so much excellent advice (legal aid, adult protective services, etc...) and I'm glad you're acting on it.

I don't think you're BIL has a legal leg to stand on and that things will work out on your favour. However, I hate to see you being put through so much unnecessary grief and stress. The thought of you awake all night with worry makes me sad - and angry.

I'm with the others who think your BIL should be captain of the Olympic evil clod team. I'd love to give him a sizeable chunk of what's left of my mind. Frankly, there's a special area of the "warm place" reserved for people like him.

Hang in there - things are going to work out.

I am so sorry BF-sometimes life is just so hard...
