For those of you who don't know what a Judgement For Possession is, it is a notice delivered to your house that tells you that you have 3 days to move out.

According to information I have read about the disabled and drug addicts, being evicted from their homes is a pretty common thing. I know that making ends meet today is hard for almost everyone, but can you imagine how much harder it is for someone who can't work because of their mental illness, to have enough income to pay monthly rent? I can say from experience, that it is alot harder than you think. I'm not going to get into the homeless situation in our country, but the population of homeless people is overwhelming. Most people have no idea how easy it is to become homeless.

Alot of the time, mental illness and drug addiction go hand in hand.

Back to my point, my boyfriend is an addict currently in drug rehab. Anyone who knows or has a loved one who is an addict, knows what it has been like for me. Although I have known him for 4 or 5 years, we have only been together for 6 months or so. In that short amount of time, I have lost just about everything. Ending finally with the Judgement For Possession that I was served today.

Maybe the mentally ill are easy prey for addicts. But then again, I'm sure any addict can con the smartest of person.

So it got to the point where I thought I was going to be homeless. If it weren't for a valuable friend who understood my situation, who helped me keep my mobile home, I would now have 3 days to move. Because I was able to come up with the balance I owed, even though the judgement for possession was served today, I won't be locked out at the end of the 3 days.

I got lucky. Very lucky. What I have learned for me is that rent comes first ALWAYS!

I plan on writing more about this later for those who need more information about being evicted from their home, or about dealing with an addict.
