I'm feeling pretty depressed [View all]

This is my DU family and I have no close friends or relatives so venting here. The real estate agent friend we had broke off contact when we didn’t use her for any house sale. At the time it was too much because we needed more help moving than she could give. Then we had that whole house buyer nightmare. Mom has this wonderful lawyer and she’s like a friend but lives a ways away and has her own career and family. The new real estate agent is nice, but she doesn’t come over like the friend real estate agent did. We have to move by September according to mom’s lawyer. Hope to make some money. Until then it’s a horrible month financially for mom and me. I’m not asking DU for more money but it’s just so depressing right now. At least politics is looking better. Hope everyone else is doing ok.
