[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents lost their home in a foreclosure in '08 when I was almost 18. I still drive by sometimes because it was such a POS but home.[/quote]

This may happen to me soon :(  In as much as I don't want a foreclosure, I cannot wait until I am no longer bound to that house.  It has been such a source of stress for me.  Did your parents recover (in any sense of the word)?[/quote]

Yes and no. We ended up in a stable homeless shelter (not like the ones you see in the movies, it was like an apartment and it helped you get on your feet) , and then my parents lived with my grandpa with my younger siblings and I lived with my aunt.

After about a year, they were able to find a place on their own (I went to college and found my own stability there) and now the foreclosure has been deleted from my stepdad's credit almost ten years later. He is a car haul driver, my mom is SAHM but he is now career transitioning. They have a lofty amount of savings but it was a hard two years. They are now looking to buy a smaller home for them and my youngest brother. My stepdad still carries a lot of guilt, it was the house of his grandparents and I still hold resentment to him from time to time for losing stability and forcing our family apart.[/quote]
