Help me help my family.
I have two children of my own (17 and 15) and my partner has 2 children (19 and 9)… we have finally gotten our lives together and are ready to build our dream home… contracts signed, down payment saved, blueprints ready and i lost my job… that was 6 weeks ago…. i tried to keep a positive attitude about the situation and since my partner has a pretty good job we were still moving ahead with the house… “it will all work out” i kept saying to myself… and then life deals out its second hand… my sister gets herself incarcerated for 12 months… my sister has three children that need care and stability…. i will be taking care of her three children while she serves her sentence… so now i have my children and three more children (7, 3, and 3 mos) to take care of….. how i am i ever going to do it financially? i have no idea… so my partner and I had a discussion and decided that now it not the best time to move forward with our dream home… it will have to be put on the back burner for a year… not that a year is that long of a time in the grand scheme of things… but i don’t have much time left for them to be at home as they are both teenagers and we were so looking forward to our new house and this new and exciting chapter in our life… i don’t want to break their hearts also but i don’t know what else to do…
does anybody have any suggestions?
