Could I get some T&Ps?

Can you girls send up some T&Ps for my family.  Major drama with my sister, I don't even know where to start.  

I've mentioned before how much my parents have always had to help her out, buying everything for her and her family.  They buy their school clothes every year, my sister drives my dad's work truck, etc.  In case you forgot, my sister is 39, and her kids are now 22 and almost 19.  So really, all 3 should  be out working.  My nephew has moved on and is more self sufficient.  My niece just started back to school (she still has 2 years left) and finally got a job at the restaurant my sister works at.  I stay out of it but I hate how they treats our parents (never calls or comes over until she needs something).  Now, I guess my sister is just walking away from her house.  Which I wouldn't really care, but my parents are on the mortgage.  My niece told them they have to go to court Wednesday for what we think is a foreclosure hearing. 

My sister has been ignoring their calls and texts until this morning.  When my mom asked about the court hearing, my sister told my mom she's known since March my niece is using heron, but didn't say anything because of my pregnancy.  I don't know what my pregnancy has to do with not telling my parents.  Seems like a distraction to me. Then, she accused my mom of caring more about their credit then her family.  Hard to care when you have no idea what's going on and keep offering to help.  

My mom is beside herself and I'm really scared my dad is going to blow up when he finds all this out.  Especially when my niece keeps coming over for money and here it's to buy drugs.  I think my mom is done helping her out with all the lies and everything.  I see my dad going and taking his truck back.  It's such a mess right now.  Jeff wants me to see if mom will come down to "help", but more just get her distracted. But  I don't think dad being alone is good either.

Re: Could I get some T&Ps?

  • First, sending you hugs.

    Second, wow...that is a lot of issues all happening at once. I hope that things work out for your family and that your niece can beat her drug addiction. I do think it would be a good distraction for your mom to come "help' with baby E...is there any way that your dad could come with her to "help" you?

    I'll definitely be thinking of your family <3

  • Ohhhh my gosh @mana, I'm so sorry :(  Definitely keeping your family in my T's&P's

    They need an attorney if they are on the mortgage.  If I was their attorney and this was Indiana, I would either file a motion for extension of time or request a settlement conference, if this is indeed a foreclosure hearing.

  • Oh, Mana. I'm keeping you and your family in my T&P. I'm not sure what else to say except that I'm here for you if you need it!

  • You and your family are in my T&Ps. I hope everything turns out okay. You should have your parents find out about the laws on being served foreclosure papers. I know in NY that's a huge legal issue with foreclosures.

  • Thanks girls. My sister told my mom she's making payments and there's no more court, but I told her to call and confirm that.

    As for my niece, they obviously need to cut her off money wise. And push to get her help. But they're not really talking about that now.

    Yup, when I found that out I asked my mom why help her any more?! She just wants free hand outs, not actually fix the problem. Waitressing is not gonna pay the bills. Esp at the dive places she works at.
