Thanks again everyone for the replies. To further clarify, the house my stepdad owned, he had sold to pay off his mortgage on his old house, which he did, around the time that the new one was built. The house my mother owned however, was occupied by a tenant. That house belongs to the bank now, it was one of the things filed in the bankruptcy, which I just found this out yesterday. She had a home equity loan out on it already, which answers the question of where it went.
True, they never did help me out in my situation, but I never asked them for help either. It was something that I brought on myself, and something that I had to fix myself, which was how I looked at it.
I told them that I exhausted my options, which I wasn't being totally dishonest with them, because I only have about half that much in the bank right now.
I really think that they are avoiding the "whole" truth with me over the fact that I've expressed my discontent at gambling in general, and when they are in this situation, it only makes things worse. If they want to take a vacation and hit up a casino, hey that's great, I'm all for it. But going there an average of 2 nights a week, with not a lot to spend, just doesn't make much sense to me.
I'll fill you in with more details as I get them. Thanks again everyone!
