Family going through housing uncertainty, my friends are willing to catch me
first time posting here or in a long time, I don’t know if this would be rhe right subreddit to post this. My family and I (20M) are going through a weird Finacial period, the house we lived in got sold at auction due to my mother not exactly keeping up with payments because of other Finacial issues.
my cousins are supportive but cut my mother off a while ago, they’re willing to catch me, my sister, and grandmother if things go under. my sister has been working herself to the bone and ive been trying to pick up a second job to save up since we havent gotten a notice yet. My moms been working with lawyers to contest what’s been going on since the bank hasn’t been accepting her checks initially.
My cousins advised my sister and i to pack and be ready. But I’m also holding out hope? my sister is also telling me we should look for apartments. my dad says to trust my mom. But he also says “if we have to move then we’ll do it and get what equity we can.“ My mom’s been vague in her responses when we ask but shes also trying her best. my sister wants me to focus on my school and finish up my bachelors the best I can.
With that context out of the way,my friends are willing to catch me as a safety net if things get worse. But it feels like im leaving my family behind if I go with them, so I can stay on my feet and save up. I don’t know what to do, or how to think about this. I’m taking both sides with grains of salt and trying to keep my head up from spiraling. should I go with my friends if things go under? I don’t know where my parents would go, and I don’t know if my sister would be able to shoulder finacials by herself.
