• I wish I could go back in time and correct my past.
  

  I too was in your shoes many years ago, I decided I had 2 options 1 to start over with new everything…or 2 I could go back and try to make amends after careful concideration I decided what I did was not reversable or salvagable so I decided to start a new life for myself at 36 yrs old, now at 52 looking back it was the right decision for me…I have a wife ,kids and until I became disabled a business and believe me I didnt make any of the mistakes I did with my first life as I put it…..it wasnt easy to start over but with hard work and perciverance sp> it did work out, I have 4 step children now in thier 20’s and 3 children of my own from 7 to 16 and a wife. I took what I learned from my 1st life and didnt make the same mistakes, use your mistakes to learn from and move on unless what you did is fixable and worth trying to save, my only regret is walking away from 2 kids whom I loved, but they made it into adulthood and have done well despite me, I wasnt all wrong in what I did, but the end was my choice and it left me alone with nothing and no one, but I guess I was lucky as I was able to make a new life and even though it is not perfect, I appreciate what I have more and work hard not to make the same mistakes that took my 1st life from me…good luck and move forward one way or another, its the only way,either start new or salvage what you can…the choice is yours, both are hard and either one can fail or make it, but you wont know till you try, just learn from your mistakes and you will be ok.

• Is this fair?
  

  yes it is fair, my kids over the age of 18 and out of school pay rent to stay here and the value of the house is what it is today not what she paid, house prices have gone up a lot in the years, my parents paid 14k for thier home and sold it for 152k 25 yrs later….my 1st house I bought for 54k and sold 5 yrs later for 114k….things just go up in price and your mom is entiteled to make a profit on her investment…I dont know the particulars in your area but sounds like 40k for a home is pretty good in my area a very small starter house and I mean a 4 room house is at least 155k in a decent area…in the best area it would be double that and in the worst area it would be about 3/4 of that…if you want your moms house offer her fair market value after all she has to either buy another home or get an apartment in todays market and no one is going to give her any breaks, I being a parent would at least hold the mortgage for my kids to help them out but I would still want fair market value for my house of course I would sell to my kid for a little less than a stranger.
