Gotta vent, hope ya'll don't mind

I really do try to stay positive around here, I know all of you have enough to deal with without me adding to your woes. I really need to just vent my frustration for a minute. Please don't feel obligated to read or respond.

So, after I was seperated I had decided to buy my ex's part of our home from her. I loved our home, and I planned to live there until I was an old man, rocking on the front porch telling youngsters to get off my lawn. After I caught her in bed with the guy she had been cheating with (all the while swearing that there wasn't someone else) inside our home, I decided that I couldn't keep it :brokenheart: . I just couldn't stand to be there anymore after knowing what she had done in our home.

So, we put it up for sale, this was in September. After not even getting a look we finally got an offer in February. The buyer was getting financing through HUD and it has taken three months for them to get everything together for it, including nitpicking absolutely everything in the world, and wanting us to replace a 3 year old rock wall because 'it was sagging'. :noway: (After our agent said no way, the wall is fine, the deal is off, HUD decided all of a sudden that it was a great wall and didn't need to be replaced) we were slated to close tomorrow April 30th.

Well, I found out today that they are putting off the closing until Monday because they don't have their paperwork together yet...THREE MONTHS AND YOU TELL ME THE DAY BEFORE WE ARE SUPPOSED TO CLOSE THAT YOU HAVE SCREWED AROUND AND DIDN'T GET YOUR STUFF TOGETHER??? :mad: :mad: :mad:

I have already secured a new place to live, the power is being turned off, I have rent and a security deposit to pay, and because of them dragging their bueareucratic feet, they have put me a in huge bind. Not to mention the peace of mind of finally being able to put the last vestiges of a horrible marriage, seperation and divorce behind me as well.

I was so looking forward to tomorrow. I just want to be free. I know it's only a few more days, but I am just so ready for this to be over. :frown:

Anyway, thanks for reading and your support. I promise to be back to my usual annoying positive self. I just have to survive a few more days.

Love you guys.

Well, yesterday came and went and I am making my way forward to Monday. I am in my new apartment with one of my best friends (Not AJ, the kid in my photo, he's my BESTEST friend :laugh: ) and life is moving right along.

The inspector called me yesterday and wanted to nitpick something that was there when I bought the place. I told him I was done, that the deal was off and that was it. The buyers agent called back a few minutes later and told me that the inspection company had agreed that enough was enough, and that they were done, so hopefully the nightmare of selling this place is almost over (and I thought *buying* was bad).

Anyway, I want to thank everyone so sincerely for your encouragement and prayers. When I wrote this topic the other day I did it more just to vent my frustration, I didn't really think it would get the response it did. It seemed like everytime I checked someone else had something beautiful and encouraging to say , and to be honest it brought me to tears. You are the finest group of people, not only on the interweb, but on the earth. I am SO BLESSED to be apart of this community of amazing people. If anyone ever wants to visit the mountains of NC, you will always have a place to stay.

Thank you so much for being who you are.

I am overwhelmed.
