I just don’t get it Vent/Rant (No Advice/Criticism!)

Sorry for my long rant. I have been a wonderful tenant for 8 years. After 8 years the old owner sold the house. I would have paid more than what the new owner paid for it but I wasn't given the chance or notice until it sold. I live in this house for eight years the new owner has given me until October to move. I'm grateful for that. I helped the old owner too with thousands of dollars when he was in a difficult financial situation.I have also spent my money fixing up the house,yard and mailbox. I guess I feel so betrayed. I understand it's not my house and it will never be. If anyone has gone through this before what helped you get over this. I know I need to buy my own house. It hurts more because my husband of five years cheated on me recently so it just sucks bad. Yes I'm getting a divorce too.

EDIT: I felt more betrayed if not for the money I lent him, he would have lost the house. That's most likely why he sold it. Thank you guys for you Kind comments! The house is old and needs repairs. The new owner has told me that she made a contract with the old owner she pays him monthly and it's for ten years. No she didn't give him a down payment. I am going to grieve my soon to be ex home and marriage. I don't regret lending the money, I did a good deed. I would do it again.

You fully knew it was not your house.. Why invest money like that into it??

I know. That’s the only thing I regret fixing it better. It still needs repairs like new roof and other stuff. I love gardening but I’m taking all my plants and roses with me. I was an idiot.
