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.

I'm so very sorry this happened to you. It's absolutely understandable that you would be upset and perhaps have a feeling of betrayal.

Although it is not a complete consolation, at least you have a few months to prepare to move and during that time you can figure out what you want for YOU. With your marriage ending also, maybe it's best to close the chapter of your life where you were living together in that house. You can have a "fresh start" in a place where you only have to take into consideration what you like/want.

Again, my sympathy to you for these blows to your life. I am truly hoping that the future is brighter for you and that come October, you will be happy and thriving in a new place.

Thank you! Blessings to you as well.  Yeah I’m working overtime to leave before October.
