Dad can't evit me or sell the house out from under me. One reason is technically the house is Mom's according to their divorce. Secondly, the SSCRA protects me.
"General. This section protects service members and their dependents from eviction for nonpayment of rent. It provides criminal sanctions for those who knowingly take part in the eviction or attempted eviction of the spouse, children, or other dependents of a service member from any premises occupied as a dwelling and rented for less than $1,200 per month. In these circumstances, a landlord must obtain a court order authorizing an eviction. The Act does not define the terms "eviction" and "distress," but the courts have applied their commonly accepted meanings in deciding cases arising under this section.
Application. The provisions of this section apply when the following conditions exist:
(1) A landlord attempts an eviction or distress during the period of military service, or after receipt of orders to report to duty as provided in section 106 of the Act;
(2) The premises are occupied as a dwelling by the spouse, children, or other dependents of the service member; and,
(3) The agreed rent does not exceed $1,200 per month."
Neener neener neener. LOL. I don't know why I didn't think of that before. It dawned on me as I was awake from 1-3 this morning. So I lloked it up to see, and sure enough he can't do anything unless he actually takes me to court and all that. And by the time he squeezes the money out his @ss and grows a set and decides to do it, I will be caught up. So there. LOL.
You know, I want to feel bad that I have no feelings for my Dad, but I just can't. He did it to himself. It isn't like one day I woke up and no longer cared. It was gradual. First he was mean to our pets. He would throw stuff at them and scream like a maniac at them. I would be in my bed praying that he wouldn't hurt the dogs when I was little. Mom came to us a couple of different times saying they were going to divorce. The 1st time was hard and we didn't want them to. The second time wasn't so bad. By then he was being more along the lines of abusive. The spanking with the belt that made us bleed. He still remembers that one and he said he never spanked us again after that. No, but there were other things. And he said he felt bad, but he never apologized. Then the hammer and the stick and the hitting and all that just kept me all messed up. Every incident took more away from me. I wish it didn't affect me, but it does. I wish I could just forget about him. But for the size of this home and the amount we pay, I can't leave. It will be a long time before we can purchase our own home. Besides, we have to find land. And it will not be here. Something has to happen one day. We will get away or he will go away. I am surprised no one has killed the paranoid little twerp yet. I thought last night about the time he pulled a gun out in his car and pointed it at a truck driver. That driver could have just plowed all over him. I am telling you, if I finally tell him what I think I will include his paranoia. How he took a sample of jelly from a jar Mom made and a lady sent back without telling us why. How he thinks every time he has a stomach problem or a cold, someone has poisoned him. How he thinks some sinus pain in his head is something life threatening. How if he gets a flat tire someone stuck a nail in it. Hoe he got a cold sore and it was someone else's fault. So much to say. But I doubt he will ever agree to what I suggested about all of us getting it all out and dealing with it. Even if he did he would hold grudges and be a baby about it. I don't know why I keep writing about it. It isn't going to do any good to say it here. I need to tell him face to face. Or in an e-mail, LOL. That would be better because he will get it all that way. But I wouldn't do it unless Amanda did too. Because then he would run and pout to her and make her crazy. We need to both do it at once and let him know we agree. Ugh. I gotta go paint toenails. BBL.
