Do you feel like you can ask your adult children for help when you need it?

Take back your power. You sound like you are completely able and aware of the world around you. Whatever it is to get the house cleaned out, do it. Do't ask them. Find a place thatwill help you through the county or friends. When the house is ready to be sold, find a realtor and slap a sign on it. When it sells, take your proceeds and find a place to live on your own if that's what you want. The kids do not think you can do this but you can. I know you have doubts but as long as you have your mind you'll be ok.

I would absolutely do all that however , I’m not living nearby.an hr from my House and don’t drive.. that’s why I have to rely on them otherwise i would have done it!
It’s we. Difficult,since I have no other family close who can help.

What would you do if there were no children? You would call the county and arrange for a ride, have the people at the house to do the work of cleaning it out. Stay in a hotel for a few days and call a realtor. If you have no money then sell the house as a distress sale and use the profits to pay all the costs. You will make less money but the monkey will be off your back.

There are investors who will buy houses and rehab them to resell. They will give you a flat amount well below the value. That may be ok with you. Don't give up so easily.
 

Yes, my kids will help me. When I got divorced four years ago, my youngest son did much of the remodeling in my condo. I have friends older than me that I help with physical things that they cannot do. I also have a younger friend that will help me if the time comes that I need it.
