I am beginning to wonder whether the purchase of my new house has been bad rather than good luck.

In order the following events have happened
a tree fell on the house during a storm and caused a lot of damage
those around me don't understand the trauma it has caused me
a week later my partner dumped me
news that my best friend is dying of cancer
another close friend ended our relationship
my daughter told me she doesn't want me at her wedding

I am now wondering whether my new house is jinxed and whether I should sell

Find myself waiting for the next event.
This is not a good way to live:>(

Ive never really believed in jinxes, but there are actually A TONNE of examples around me that say otherwise, u could even say my life has been shaped by sort of a jinx in my house, nothing good ever happens only bad things.

The thing that matters most is ur mental satisfaction and sanity. Id say sell ur house, this might cost u some money, but like i said , u need to keep ur sanity intact coz i know how it feels to be living in a jinxed house.

And its just terrible that ur daughter doesnt want u at her wedding. Im sure this is just a temporary phase and she will come running back to you saying how sorry she was that she said that to you...

And as for friends, ive always believed theyre there just to have fun with. Ive tried to be sincere with alot of ppl but in the end im always the one who ends up lonely and hurt and the other person just gains what he wants out of me. So dont take what ur friend did to u to badly, the sincere friends like u see in movies are rare and actually dont exist so id suggest you not too worry about that.

Ur in bad times right now, Be strong and im sure ull make it out alive as a stronger person. Good Luck

Hey Emilia....I feel for ya - I have had a load of bad luck in the last 18 months and it never seems to end.

So you are not alone

I know where u r coming from. I have felt a black cloud following me since I could remember. Even things I thought were going to be good soured right away. It has to get better at some point. We can't spend our lives staring down a black hole. They say there is a light at the end of the tunnel, you just wonder how long your trip will be to get to it. Keep faith and move forward. As for the house, do some research on it and the land maybe. I don't belive in ghosties or E.T., but I do think there are some things in this life that just aren't good for us.

Thanks lonelydude (great name:>) I appreciate your thoughtful reply

I am wondering about "cleansing" the new house.
Ever heard of it?

Sometimes you get that feeling where if you trace things back to a certain time or event then it begins to explain all of the other things that have gone since it. I looked back to a decision I made on 2nd May 2007 and it sent me into the spiral I have been in...it removed any stability that I had and opened up all of the old wounds that have been hiding for a while.

If the house is that event think of why you moved in the first place...will the events follow you if you move again...how much disruption and heartache will it cause if you do...but ultimately...how much happier do you think you will be if you move?

Positives and negatives...

Why can I be so rational and thoughtful when it comes to other people...and yet I cannot apply those same logical thoughts to myself and my own situations?

Hi there Emilia, WOW! That is a lot of bad luck your heaving there ye **HUGS** you look like you could do with a hug.

Well now then you know that a house can not bring you bad luck? I mean some ppl do believe in that kinder stuff I personally think you make most of your luck yourself. Question for you: Do you like the house? Simple really. If you do stay. I mean moving is supposed to be one of the most stressful things you can do. when I moved to where I am on the fist day I had water pouring in from my living room ceiling from the attic.

All this things may be to do with that fact that you have been a little moor stressed then normal. OK the tree falling on to the house well that's just plane old bad luck. But it cert fall twice so its not likely to happen again is it. BTW if you have any moor tress close to the house I would think about cutting them buggers down

Thanks for the hugs Bluey:>)

You make some very valid points.
In relation to the trees here's a good story.
The trees are on council land and therefore I cannot cut the buggers down. The council arborist came and inspected the surrounding trees last week. When I asked about some of the trees I would like to have removed, he said "but they provide a wonderful habitat for the possums!". To which I replied "so the possum habitat is more important than the peace of mind of the residents". There was silence:>)
