situation. Please help!!!? I have a job in retail sales that has been greatly affected by the economy and my income took a nosedive over the past 2 years. I had a mortgage that went into foreclosure because I went through a break up and another roommate moved out and I could not afford the mortgage payment with my reduced income. I had at borrowed money from my father to help pay but in the end I wasn't able to keep my head above water. Unfortunately, when I could no longer afford the obligations I could easily afford a few years ago I had to move back in with my father.
My father has a girlfriend who in the past I have had disagreements with. She has never been nice to me and has always tried to manipulate my father and get between our once close relationship. Upon moving back in I could sense that she was against it.
My father asked that I pay rent and I agreed that it was fair. My father, who works for the same company as me, is now enduring his own financial difficulties and I had given him ALL of my tax return and drained my 401k to pay him money earlier this year when he needed it. I had no problem doing so because I had borrowed more than my share over the years. But when I paid him back I gave all the money I had and my income went down even further and my vehicle was repossessed.
I have been back home now for about 3-4 months and am paying legal fees, and am not left with much after that and my work expenses and have not been able to pay him rent. I am starting to run into alot of friction between my father and myself and am dealing with verbal abuse from his girlfriend who is infuriated about me living at home. She told me im an adult and should not need to depend on my father.
I am not making enough money to move out and am unable to find a place that I can afford. I lost my house, my car, I am not making enough to pay my bills, have not bought new clothes, have not gone out socially, and am really in a state of depression over my situation.
I feel like my father would not obligate me to pay rent if he wasn't having financial difficulties of his own. If I had children of my own I would go out of my way to help them and would never ask anything of them in return, especially if I knew they really weren't able to help. I feel bad that I can't do more, and if I could, I would. When I needed help and my father had enough money to help, he never turned me down. When he needed help, I never hesitated to help but I paid a very costly price for it and I would do it again.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for the help
