My father had lost his job and we can't afford the house anymore. My mom lost her job also and thing has been really hard. We got kick out of our a apartment. And we own this the entire apartment. Three days later before we got kicked out of the apartment,the bank told us that they are taking all of our money out of the apartment. Since we haven't pay taxes in five months. Now we are send to a farm because three months earlier we were living on the streets. Like animals, and my mom was acting like one while asking for changes, and the public didn't like it. The farm we were living was filthy. Living in a room for five people wasn't enough. We had a family of seven. But now six. My father left us, because everyday he would fight with my mom. He will always come back from work looking like if he was wasted. When my mom had a enough they argued so much that they gave each other bruises and my father left.
