first time out kilted / almost get evicted for it

[morrison]

Sometimes mothers speak to a person thinking that because it's her offspring there will be a life growth lesson being learned. Of course, as the offspring matures the mother doesn't. Fortunately, for the younger maturing offspring the growth can occasionally be positive and profitable emotionally, spiritually, mentally, physiologically and psychologically in spite of the Mother's interference.

Whilst I don't have these issues with my parents, I have issues along those lines with some other relatives, including my wife and her mother. I can definitely identify with your words.

First of all, I want to say that my prayers are with you always. I am sure that your Mother has issues that are far beyond the kilt, it is just a peg to hang them on.

A couple of suggestions, and I am sure you probably have covered them, but here goes: (I know how easy it is to overlook the obvious at times.)

Getting out of the family owned house is very important. Is there a State Employees' Credit Union in Ohio? If your wife is a Public School teacher, then she would most likely be eligible for housing loan from them.

Secondly, with the housing market meltdown, perhaps you could get an owner financed house? Seems that if you have that much saved up for a down payment it might work. Just don't over-extend yourself, and remember, there are always things that break and need repair around a house. (I'm sure you are aware of that also.)

May the situation resolve itself soon.
