*******This is where paying someone to help out is useful - someone to do some simple sorting and packing up - or someone to take some of the load from you with your mother - or someone to do part of the cleaning or your weekly laundry. Also I urge you to look into getting your groceries delivered. *********

Robyn -

Thank you for your advice. It would be wonderful if I could afford that, but I can't. We live penny to penny here - we usually end up with too much month left at the end of the money... I have no "extra" to spend. This is part of why I am moving. I had moved in when I divorced, and it was supposed to be temporary. My mother's health delcined and it has become a 7 year kind of temporary... I have been taking care of all the bills, etc... on this massive house that my mother cannot afford on her own. She's been planning on moving for 5 years now, and I have finally decided enough is enough. If she looses everything, then so be it - I've been here and available to "help" and now I feel that I am hindering. We have to go - for my sanity, my daughters, and even to save my mother's an my relationship. Anyway, thank you... Do you know any other suggestions that may be more financially feasible right now?

Aha! Massive house - take in a boarder in return for some of the kinds of
help I was mentioning - traveling students perhaps? There is actually a
message board about traveling unschoolers at www.unschooling.com I think.

Help your mother take out a home equity loan, move to a small assisted
living place, and rent out the big place to a large family to cover the
repayments???
