family member got evicted

[Anonymous]

Has anyone experienced the eviction of a family member from their home? I think I personally am still traumatized by it---perhaps vicarious trauma. Aside from doing things to help the family, has anyone just been traumatized by the eviction itself and what their family members are going through?

Poor you, time to help your family and stop wallowing in your own feelings about it

Poor landlord. To get evicted you have to not pay rent for months at least.

I can't tell who you are upset for. Yourself or your family member.

And agreed, it takes a lot to get someone evicted.

Actually you could pay the rent and the landlord not pay the mortgage and you will never know until the day the sheriff shows up at your door.

Who says I"m not helping? That's why I am coming to an anonymous board and not sharing with my family members.

Why didn’t they pay their rent?

You should not be traumatized, and you should not have been there when they were physically being escorted out.

What is traumatizing about their eviction for YOU, exactly?

I’m struggling to understand but can imagine there’s a lot of emotion around your parents or siblings having such a terrible time. Who was evicted?

Not here on DCUM!

Too high a proportion of the poster population with training in an adversarial system of justice, is my theory. They just can’t inhabit flexibility that well—they don’t even know it would be a good thing.
