Hi! This is my first time submitting here. I didn't know where else to go to ask help regarding the matter.
So here's the situation: my parents separated nearly three years ago. My mom now has her own property, while my siblings and I have also moved out of my father's house (he was physically abusive towards my mother and has intoxication issues). My mother was the breadwinner of our family, and my father never bothered to have a job the whole time we were together (around 18 years), and so depended on her. Apparently, my mother failed to pay the mortgage on the house during the last year we were staying with our father. Her income is on a commission basis and prioritized on spending it on the education of her kids.
My dad has been receiving warnings on the loaning company taking back the house, but hasn't really done anything. He's tried looking for jobs but has only gotten very low paying ones (around <$1/day) because he didn't finish college and his intoxication problems. His salary is only enough for his basic needs. He is currently unemployed and relies on my aunt for meals.
To keep the house, we have to pay 2 million Philippine pesos, which is around ~$40,000. This is a problem since I only have one sibling who is working and is earning $160/month. Once my working sibling gets off of her 'trial' period in work, she earns ~$560. I and my younger sibling are still in school. I am in my fourth year of college and I still have another year to go. My college expenses are costly, around $1,200 for a whole school year. My younger sister also goes to a private school that is $660/school year. We can't send my younger sister to a public school as majority of public school students have delinquent tendencies, and my sister is very rebellious.
I am currently working on freelance writing jobs to help fund my education, but I don't know what to do when my dad gets evicted or where the household items will go. My paternal aunt and uncles aren't doing so well as their husband/wives are the ones that have higher paychecks.
Hoping to get some advice on what to do. Thank you.
