I am currently obtaining my BA in Counseling, and I'm about to undertake writing my senior research paper. I'm considering writing it on Crisis intervention, as that subject has just recently become fascinating to me. I am also trying to figure out what would be a good field to get my Master's Degree in. Basically, I was wondering if there would be a way I could talk to you a little more about your brief stint into Crisis Intervention - what you know, what names or resources you could forward, things like that. I would really appreciate it if you could help me out. I think there is a good chance we have a lot in common. Thank you for your time! Christina,

I'm in Georgia and I know exactly what you're talking about. My cousin and his family are going through the same thing. Thankfully they have been able to hold things off for a while after filing bankruptcy. He can't work because of a number of health problems, so everything falls on his wife's shoulders. Lori said it best - this situtation the banks have left this economy in is absolutely criminal. So many people have lost their homes and the banks have done little to rework the loans when it would seem to be in their best interest. I'm glad your brother has found work (which is also quite scarce in this neck of the woods with the state unemployment above the national average). Thank goodness for a supportive family during these times. Christina, I’m late seeing this post, and it’s got me seething. I’m in Georgia and I know exactly what you’re talking about.

FTW to his in-laws for being generous and understanding. Someone oughta take that banker out on a dusty Georgia back road and give him a really good country ass kicking.

I had seen an expert on tv who said if you're told to vacate, don't. Stay in the house because the banks more often than not won't go to the expense of hoisting you out. I think it's criminal that these are the same banks who reward their "best and brightest" for making lousy decisions - decisions they'd tell us were the first rule in investing - don't put it all in one place. Rat bastards. That totally sucks. I had seen an expert on tv who said if you’re told to vacate, don’t.
