Author Topic: We're selling my childhood house.  (Read 865 times)

As of late, my dad has been going through depression and anxiety problems, (which are mental illness, nothing wrong with him as a human being) So he had to go to the hospital to get him stabilized, after he got out of the hospital something went wrong with his medicine and something went bad in his brain so he had to stay there for another few weeks. My dad has already been in debt for a while but being out of work for some weeks has made it pretty bad, the note on our house is just way to big so he has to sell.
     It's kind of sucky because I've been living in this house as far back as my memory goes, (besides being at my mom's houses every other weekend and some weekdays). I can just look at any point of the house and recall fond childhood memories, which makes it weird to think that the place where all my memories took place, I will soon never see again. I've gotten over it mostly, mainly because I'm not that much of an emotional person. But it's weird.

Any similar experiences with you blf?

tl;dr : we're selling my childhood house because there is too much debt, and it is sucky

We had to sell our property that I grew up on due to lack of money. They completely destroyed my old home.

my van that my mom had that i eventually had is still sitting in my driveway rotting away because i cant get rid of it because it has so much sentimental value to me
its worthless, transmission is gone, interior is falling apart, paint is falling off, flat tire, bad starter
if i charge the battery and start it it brings a rush of nostalgia just for the smell and that distinct rumble and vibration it makes from years of mechanical neglect

when i move i suppose i wont bring it with me, i wish i could fix it and keep it

tow it to your new house and turn it into a guest bedroom

EDIT (don't want to make a new post)

thanks clone

Sucks man.
I've lived in many houses and would often move every 4+ years, I got to enjoy each house but it was always exciting moving somewhere new and changing things up.
Hopefully everything goes well for you and your dad.

same thing happened to me too

From the time I was born until I was about 9 years old, my family moved to a different house almost every year. Since that point though, we've been in 3 permanent houses and they're trying to sell our current one to move again.

I've lived in the same house for 11 years


I've lived here for about 14 years.

I moved out of my old home when I was about 11. Funny thing, my grandmother kept in contact with the buyers. They were a married couple when they went in and bought the house. Now they're divorced and I think the husband is the only one living in the home.

You'll feel better after a bit of time. Just do things you love to keep your mind off of it.

i lived in my first house until the middle of 6th grade, it was like the best thing ever and i took it for granted :(
we moved from it to a house some 5 miles away because of really bad interest and inflation of prices so it had to be sold
we currently rent from my mom's lifelong best friend and we get a rly low rate for the size house we live in

the only time i moved was when i was like 1 so idk what its like but packing up tons of legos sounds like crap

misread as childhood abuse

we filed for bankruptcy about 3yrs ago and had to sell my childhood house. i still drive by it from time to time when im in the area. id like to go back again cus some new people live there and they're really nice. they let me tour the house while they were remodeling but i havent been back since
