I am so very sorry to hear what your father is doing. Please don't repay his evil ways - it will take more effort & cause stress on your part. Just try to focus on what you need to do - not on him. Unless you are in a prime area & he is asking a great price for the house, I would not think that it would sell too quickly. I pray that you have enough time to complete the EMS course & start your new higher-paying job so you can move out on your own time-line.
I will lift you & your family up in my prayers.

house

First off, I am so sorry thear of your situation. What a piece of work he is.

Although verbal contracts are binding, it is never the case with real estate. Real estate must be in writing. But if you have been paying the taxes and the insurance and the upkeep of the property you will have some legal grounds for reimbursemnent of those things you have paid. New water heater, furnance,toilet etc. are the responsibilty of the owner, not you.You can argue that he gave you the house 2 years ago so there was no need to pay rent. But he also cannot benefit from you paying the taxes and insurance and upkeep and if he sells the property he wil need to reimburse you for the monies you spent plus interest. Interest would be minimal since rates are low but the money is not the point here it is the principal. Get a lawyer and have the lawyer draft a paper requesting this money now as it is needed for you to move. You can also make him go through the time and expense of evicting you too and never be available to show the house and keep it a mess. Or you can be there and politely mention the water problems, the high utility bills and rodent problems. Homes are depreciating in most areas of the country so I am sure this house is no different. Do not feel like you are lying regarding the utilities either. This is a matter of opinion. My current gas bill is for $194., not bad when my friends are all paying in the $250s for much smaller homes with less people living there. Also and this is the most important, talk to a realtor. Preferably one from out of your area to see if your state has the same laws as most which is he MUST offer to sell you the house before placing it on the market. If he does not then you amy be entitled to damages. The broker he hires should also mention this to him since he obviously does not live on the premises. Bankruptcy can make a person with bad credit have better credit than before they went bankrupt. My brother went bamkrupt 2 years ago for the 2nd or third time and he just closed on a new home in August of 07. It is worth a shot to see if you can get a loan. What could it hurt.

Good luck

Me

I wouldn't mess up the paneling, because he's been such a jerk in all areas of your life, he'd probably just have you arrested for vandalism.

I thought about this joke I got in email a long time ago when I read your post.

********
She spent the first day packing her belongings into boxes, crates and suitcases.

On the second day, she had the movers come and collect her things.

On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining room table by candle-light, put on some soft background music, and feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of spring-water.

When she had finished, she went into each and every room, removed the window cornices, and deposited a few half-eaten shrimp shells dipped in caviar into the hollow of the curtain rods.

She then cleaned up the kitchen and left. When the husband returned with his new girlfriend, all was bliss for the first few days.

Then slowly, the house began to smell.

They tried everything; cleaning, mopping and airing the place out.

Vents were checked for dead rodents and carpets were steam cleaned.

Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters, during which they had to move out for a few days and in the end they even paid to replace the expensive wool carpeting. Nothing worked.

People stopped coming over to visit.
Repairmen refused to work in the house.
The maid quit.

Finally, they could not take the stench any longer and decided to move.

A month later, even though they had cut their price in half, they could not find a buyer for their stinky house.

Word got out and eventually even the local realtors refused to return their calls.

Finally, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place.

The ex-wife called the man and asked how things were going.

He told her the saga of the rotting house. She listened politely and said that she missed her old home terribly and would be willing to reduce her divorce settlement in exchange for getting the house back.

Knowing his ex-wife had no idea how bad the smell was, he agreed on a price that was about 1/10th of what the house had been worth, but only if she were to sign the papers that very day.

She agreed and within the hour his lawyers delivered the paperwork.

A week later the man and his girlfriend stood smiling as they watched the moving company pack everything to take to their new home.........

And to spite the ex-wife, they even took the the curtain rods!!!!!!

**********
You could always just go buy a package of shrimp and stuff a few pieces into each curtain rod before you leave the house.

My dad died several years ago. Unless you and your dad make things right with each now, it will be a burden to you for the rest of your life. You do not want to be a angry, bitter, old woman. And, if you do not go to his funeral, it will look bad on YOU, not on him.

Not all parents are loving and caring. My dad has convinced most of my brothers and sisters that I call him all the time talking about different ones and that I chew him out and cuss him out all the time. I've never cussed my dad. But I can't convince some of my sisters and brothers that he's lieing to them. He told two of them that before he's through no one will like me and that hes not through with me yet. When I call him he tells me every time that he loves me but tells other people all the things I said above. Its getting where I'm afraid to call him because I don't know what he'll say I said. I'm afraid of my own dad and thats sad because I still care about him.

my dad never wanted me, when i wasn't born a boy, he refused to come back to the hospital to get us. My mom had to call my aunt to pick us up. He had nothing to do with me unless he was forced to i was little, I WAS SO FREAKING HAPPY when i my parents got divorced when i was 7 and we moved to oklahoma. (he was left in wyoming). Then he thought he was dying of bone cancer when i was 16, he paid to fly us up to see him for 2 weeks. Then after he found out he would recover we didn't hear from him for years again. he moved to Oklahoma and he's disabled so he needs some help with lots of things. Me and my boys went over and mowed his lawn. did his shopping. I took him every day for almost 3 months to his radiation treatments for colan cancer. 40 miles to his house, then 40 more to the hospital then take him home, come home myself and get ready to go to work. all those kinds of things. He moved some woman in and again didn't need us anymore. THEN he found out she was stealing from him and and said if i would help him again, he would GIVE me this house. he was conviently sick everytime we had plans to go get the deed changed over to my name. Now he has someone else living with him and since they've moved in he's bought a new pontoon boat, a new motorhome, he has like 4 riding lawnmowers, he's even bought the person living with him a BRAND NEW CAR... like i said he's not selling any of that.

SO DON'T YOU DARE PRESUME TO TELL ME THAT I'LL BE BITTER. HONEY I'M ALREADY THAT. I WILL NOT GO TO HIS FUNERAL AND I WON'T FEEL BAD, NOT ONE DAMN BIT. I WAS HERE WHEN HE NEEDED ME, AND NOW THAT HE DOESN'T HE'S GONNA THROW ME AWAY.... HELL NO. HE CAN GO STRAIGHT TO HELL...
