My mother is diagnosed bipolar, and she has only recently recovered from a 5 month long manic episode, which resolved after a month and a half in care.
During her illness my mother spent tens of thousands of her savings on frivolous and useless belongings, which filled our home to the brim. There are many more spendings that can’t be traced. She took out loans on jewellery and at the bank to accomodate for this spending, yet she wasn’t paying for rent or any other utilities.
This has resulted in severe debt to family who helped with loans, the bank, our landlord, the gas company, electricity company and more. She has absolutely no savings left and she can’t go back to work for weeks until medication is regulated. Even when working it would be impossible to pay back arrears on house before eviction.
We are going to be homeless in a few weeks and I don’t know what to do. We live in Australia. Does anyone have any advice? Anyone been through something similar?
