...See more Possible TW? In December 2023, two weeks before Christmas, my family and I were told we had till the end of the month to move ourselves out of the house we had been renting for 16 years. The house was owned by the church that I had been working for for 20 years. They decided that since it needed a new roof and a new heater and was almost 100 years old that it needed to be torn down.Then we were told we had until the end of January 2024 to move our things out. It took until the end of March 2024 to move everything out. It was a three bedroom with a full basement and garage and it was full. We were moving in with my husband‘s mother who had been in her house for 50 years and her house was full. In the process of moving, I was forced to resign from my job. I haven’t been able to find a new job since. Any job I do find has to be remote and part-time because I can’t drive and I need to be available for my mother-in-law’s doctors appointments. It’s very frustrating and demoralizing. I feel like I have no autonomy as a woman and like I just want to go home, but there is no home to go back to. At 47 I feel like I should just be able to suck it up and do what needs to be done. Instead, I spend most days hiding in bed. I don’t wanna eat. I don’t wanna shower. I don’t wanna people. I feel guilty for being in this funk but don’t know how to get out of it. Sorry for dumping all of this on you all. I don’t know if it counts as trauma to anyone else but it sure as heck feels like it to me the day they tore down my house, I felt like my whole self was erased.
