This show made me so sad.  I listened to you ask the question over and over again regarding how to continue a healthy relationship with your family when under stress.  The three on your show were very fortunate they still have their family.  My situation is slightly different. . . . I owned a home under my credit but my fiance was helping me pay the mortgage and day to day bills.  Unfortunately I was at the beginning of the cure and the house foreclosed.  I did not have the option to "bail out" or "quick sale", my credit is ruined, I lost my job and my relationship of eight years.  The grief of loosing a job, a home and a relationship was/is devastating.  It all came so abrupt and the family I relied on was gone.  I take responsibility for my part. Now I need to rebuild my credit, rebuild my self esteem, and find the strength to move on without my relationship.  At times it has been soo difficult.  God was the only thing that helps me move on.
