Hello friends. I know it's been awhile. I am sorry. I try to get back into things but I have so much on my mind it's hard to do anything but think.
I may have an apartment. It has a pool, gym, playground. Two bedrooms and two baths. My aunt wants us to move in together. My aunt lived with her sister who had the stroke. She isn't better and will never come home. Her son will have to sell the house and that leaves my aunt without a home.
I think we could live together but......
First, I like being alone. But I can't afford it. She has a dog. I have cats. Bad combination. I will not let go of my three cats. That is a problem.
There are a lot of pros but a lot of cons. Some I won't go into right now. But if this happens, it will have to happen NOW. She will have to put up a deposit to keep it and one comes open the first. She can't afford it by herself. So I have to decide quick.
She has moved before. This house is all I have ever known and suddenly, without any warning, at the 11th hour. BOOM. Move or not.
I need prayers. Just pray for the right thing to happen. I don't know what to do. Winter is coming up fast and I can't take another year like last one. I may not have a choice. But now, if I say yes, I will have to condense my things even more. I won't have a whole apartment to decorate the way I want. I will have a bedroom.
Everything keeps changing and it won't stop. I am still reeling from mom's death and now...
Help.

Have her over with her dog so you can see how it does with the cats. Do you like this aunt? Nobody wants to live with someone they don't like. If your bedroom is good-sized, you could make it your hide-away, with a TV and all, so when you needed to be alone, you could be. I wouldn't like having to decide so quickly either.
Well Tammy....You sure do have a quick decision to make. Donna makes a good suggestion about the cats and dog..it will certainly take a time for them to adjust but perhaps if you kept them apart the cats mostly in your room that would be ok..It sounds like a good appartment with all you could really wish for.. So long as you actually like this Aunt and moved in with good rules about what you can and cannot do...and that would be binding on both of you... Somtimes when we pray and pray for somthing when an answer comes it is not exactly what we had been thinking of but actually it is for the best..I just don't know. If you don't accept, what will you do in the next few months? do you have enough cash to make a move to be on your own ? I know that is a question you will be asking yourself...I have a feeling this move is God sent...I will continue to pray for you as I have been doing. PLEASE get back to us as soon as possible with some news...

It does sound like an opportunity that would be hard to pass up. I hope that when you talk with her some of your questions and concerns will be answered so that you know the right choice to make. As you say you cannot possibly go on as you are and a change needs to be made.
Tammy talk with your Aunt and get more information about the move and your living together. If the bedroom is large enough, that could be your private domain when you need alone time. Do get the cats and dog together and see how they react with each other. Know you have to make a pretty quick decision, just be sure it's one you can live with if you decide to move in with your Aunt, once the decision is made you'll have to go forward with it in a positive attitude and be willing to give and take on things that come up. Sounds like it would be a good opportunity for you to get out of your current situation/place with winter coming, though NC doesn't exactly get super cold, but overall, you've had some rough times and this just might be the right direction to go dear....but make sure you are at peace with your decision to move in with her, any doubts, stop and rethink it dear.
Hi Tammy, a week has almost gone past now and I am hoping that you have been able to make a decision about your future.
God Bless,

Hon, I am so sorry things are going so badly for you. You've not had much time to adjust to new things yet. It helps if you like your Aunt. I understand how hard this is for you. But Donna had a great idea, making your bedroom your hideaway, if it's large enough. It's tough living with others, so I pray all turns out well for you. Big hugs.
Hope you've been able / will be able to come to a decision that is beneficial to all - even if that may include the option of NO change.
Sorry that I haven't been around. I hope everything has worked out ok for you. You are in my prayers every nite.
Everyone has offered some very good advice. I wouldn't want to be rushed into anything if it were me, but you should certainly weigh the pros and the cons. If you know for sure it isn't right for you, then don't do it. Be honest with yourself.
Almost a month gone by Tammy and still no news from you. do pray that all is well.
Love Sybil xx
