I am afraid, You could be right, rockouthippie, that it could be not only temporary, but then I will never escape...
My husband's mother will be transferred to short-term care in a nursing home, but maybe she will stay there forever (I am afraid), and she doesn't have enough incomes to pay that. Then the authorities will interrogate my husband and me to verify our own incomes, but they cannot force us to pay, because we don't have enough incomes. They always verify the incomes of the childern and their partners, and if at least one of the children (as an adult now) or his/her partner will have enough incomes, then that child (adult) will be forced to pay for the nursing home. Another woman had been forced by the authorities to sell her car, because her grandmother had been brought into the nursing home...
Funerals have to be payed by the children, too (a new law since 2004), whether they have the money for that or not. Painkiller for cancer must be paid by the own incomes, and suddenly that person or the whole family can get debts...
I do not know if they come to pry into our apartment, and then we cannot refuse that. But that would be a invade in our privacy, and we have our rights for our private life. We don't have so much, but we want to keep the less things, which we have. Nobody is allowed to take us away these things, which mean so much for our life...
We don't want to get debts, but we can be dragged into debts. Maybe I am in the "end-of-the-world-mood" now, maybe not. We could also have a little bit luck and my husband's mother could come home, for now. And after so much destinys I am expecting also some luck now...
An actress in Germany decided to go into her own death this year with only 42 years, because she got no more orders in the movie business, and she didn't know how to pay the next rent for her leased apartment. In the Eighties she had become very famous in a TV-serial. But suddenly the movie business wasn't interested in her anymore, and she didn't get incomes anymore...
I am not so famous, but I am alive...
