Re: Just a thought..
I was just mentioning that to my daughter that maybe we could find two house on a lot for rent. I have a couple friends that do that.

Just a thought..
I've been living with my mother-in-law since my father-in-law passed away. I just can't bear the thought of her living alone. Mother's house is really big -much a bigger house than what my husband and I ever plan to have- and she is still 'attached' to the house.. She wants to keep the house and us with her as long as she can, but she understands that it might not be in our -my husband's and my- best interest in the long run.
So, Mother and I made a pact, when she is ready to move, we will move at the same time, to two houses next to each other.. so I don't have to worry about her living alone, and she doesn't have to worry about being alone..
A friend of mine has actually done a similar thing. She and her family, are now living in the same block with her parents and her sister's family. Her parents-in-law are living in the next housing area. Not in the same house anymore, but very close..
Is this something that would be applicable in your situation?

If your son does need a place to stay, and his credit isn't the best, have him approach people who are renting privately and not through a property manager. They might be more willing to 'bend the rules' for him, and take him on as a tenant. I only know this because I've been a property manager, and when you are, your hands are tied as far as how lenient you can be with credit.
I know what you mean about living alone. I do have to tell you that it has its advantages, though. My heart goes out to you with all the changes you are experiencing. Everything will work out all right.

I understand. I personally love being alone, but, the thought of my mother, daughter and grandson being some where else and me not knowing that they are safe in bed in my house is almost terrifying.

You are facing up to a lot and I know from reading your posts, you don't have any super belief in a God. If you can just make something or someone your Higher Power, maybe even your mum or someone you loved, I can tell you that your life, with just a wee bit of faith in an unknown entity will get you through living on your own. You can do it.

I wish that each of the three of you could think of all these changes as adventures in the offing. Good luck to all of you.
