NOW WHAT??

What happens to a women who decides to stay home and raise her children and suddenly needs to earn a decent income. Are we called "Displaced Homemakers"? Can we in middle age abruptly re enter the job market and start a new career? Or are we doomed to minimum wage jobs and seasonal help. Is it too late to ask what do we want to be when we grow up?

I am this women and I will do whatever it takes to keep my home, feed my children and stay warm. My pride is nonexistent. I have been a frequent visitor at the county assistance office.
I will take any government service I can get. I will jump through whatever hoops they require. I will provide whatever documents the need even if they lose them several times.

I will beg and plead with my mortgage company to work with me although it is just a group of people in some cubicles looking at screens, working on commissions, making up the rules as they go along. They have no vested interest in my family's future. If they get me to pay, they it's good for them. I will go to the certified credit counseling to stall my foreclosure although I have a FHA mortgage and cannot receive HEMAP. Apparently, I can't make partial payments either with an FHA mortgage.

Where is my bailout?
