I want to sell my life like the man in Australia. I don't have anything glamorous like a house or jet ski's in fact I have pretty much nothing only heartache and crap. For the last 20 years I've lost everything I owned 5 times, moved cross country 9 times and was homeless twice this is definitely not the life I dreamed of when I was little. Growing up with only a handicapped mother and one sister who left for college first I got screwed with dropping out of high school and working full-time since age 14 to pay for bills and everything else required to survive. With no one ever taking care of me, I plugged away for the next 20 years taking care of 4 children, an alcoholic husband and my mentally ill mom. I work my fingers to the bone serving others and scrubbing toilets to get by. I envy happy people mostly for their large families and friends but of course for their money too. With it they usually can buy all the things they need for their family and afford many activities to make these friends.
Well for the last 4 years I've completely burnt out physically and emotionally and can't do it anymore. I lost my only sister and niece to her husbands control over her and their dangerous life of drug and alcohol abuse and violence. Thrown out of the little family I had for doing the right thing, I'm overwhelmed with hurt and depression so bad I can barely get up on some days. I hate my life and every thing about it except for my 4 beautiful children that I can barely take care of anymore and can never give them the things they too truly deserve in this world. Not being able to afford to take them or buy them anything fun not to mention half the time not even being able to pay for the necessities. In this incredibly selfish and hurtful world where the rich get richer and the poor die off. Where I'm barely holding onto the fact that each of them is equipped with the knowledge of the value of a good education and it sucks being at the bottom of society. Due to the example myself and my husband show them everyday in our suffering with stressful jobs for little pay. I really need a vacation and a break from my everyday torture of my life.
I'm selling everything to try to find some happiness before I go completely insane from the pain. I've tried meeting new friends to no avail, adopting some extended family some how which no one seemed interested and helping so many others who are less fortunate then even I, with no help in return when I'm at my lowest point and being kicked even lower. I'm too sick I'm too tired and too broken hearted to even take another breathe. I'm so stuck in this nightmare I see no real way to get out.
So please if anyone out there has more money then they know what to do with please buy my life. Everything except my 4 children and some personal photos and memories. Oh yeah even though he's the cause of a large percent of my misery and problems, he's the only one I have and he's a good dad. So the alcoholic husband is not part of the package. I might not stay married to him but I will always love and be friends with him. He got a bad deal in life too and works his *** off just as hard to provide for us but it's never enough since blue collared jobs don't pay hardly nothing these days and you can be replaced so easily.
In buying my life you will get the following, "A life size silver surfer, from the promotion of the movie Fantastic 4. A Brad Pitt Playgirl from 1997 all nude ripped from the shelves after publication. A base ball card collection with a Sparky Anderson Card and many major leaguers with value like Barry Bonds, Daryl Strawberry and Roger Clemeams. A foreign coin collection, a stamp collection and book. A lot of golf related items. A broken down ripped up couch, a badly scratched little box shaped entertainment center that holds one TV and a DVD player. Some worn out, lost pieces, board games. This computer, 4 nasty white plastic chairs and card table, Long broken crappy 8 foot wooden table and 6 green chairs, a propane Bbq, A half broken trampoline still bouncable. A queen size box spring and mattress on floor (my bed), a full mattress on floor(my oldest son's bed), a twin mattress on floor (my daughter bed) Really ratty bunkbeds (my 2 youngest sons beds) 3 dresser drawers with broken draws, missing handles and chipped paint.

Package also includes too cars (paid for $1000 dollars each) as is.
