Not sure if it would be the DMV or DOL (Dept of licensing)but either office will know which one handles title transfers.
Even if it is stationary, it's still considered a vehicle, not real estate like a house or a plot of land.

Don't get caught up worrying about the trailer.

There are NO "gift" taxes on any transfers of that trailer. You wouldn't owe anyone anything.

You could rent the fifth wheel tractor and pull that thing to Denver with you right now if you wanted to...

And "unkle" and Grandmom would be left in thier little plot of dirt.

And they can't sell it without YOUR signature.

So don't ever worry about them "not speaking to you" or Dis-owning" you.

Eventually, THEY HAVE to deal with you again.

You could also go to your local DMV, get a replacement copy of the title, and then go to your local bank or "title" loan company, and get a loan for 2-3 grand to finance your trip to Denver.

Think about that.

You could certainly make your payments on the loan from Denver. Keep the first grand to make the first 12 months of payments while you get settled in.

Karma - I hope your absence from the board means you're on a bus headed for Denver! ((((Hugs))))

The ? that made recovery possible: "Which lovebuster do I do the most that hurts the worst"?

The statement that signaled my personal recovery and the turning point in our marriage recovery: "I don't need to be married that badly!"

If you're interested in saving your relationship, you'll work on it when it's convenient. If you're committed, you'll accept no excuses.

No, unfortunately, not. I've been trying to check into what everyone suggested about the trailer and whatnot. Interest rates on loans and things of that sort.

That and I am working on some projects given to me via an online freelancing site.

And today I had to wake up at 5 to go to work. Naturally when I got home I went right to bed.

The fear is really filling me over this. This would likely be the first independent thing I've done in a while...

Could you put in for a transfer to a Denver-area Walmart?

You need to make detailed plans before you make another attempt to get away.

The actual reason you did not leave on the Greyhound, was your lack of a detailed plan.
If you had been ready to go, you would have gone.
This will be a good life lesson, one you will use for the remainder of your life.

Think about what your goals are. (write them out in a detailed way)
Think about what the obstacles to your goals are. (detail them on paper)
Brainstorm ideas to surmount the obstacles.
Keep in mind, SOME of the obstacles are external (family/money/job/education) ... and some obstacles are internal (fear/dependency/habit/stubbornness/whatever).

You've done enough reading on MB to realize how BIG we all are when it comes to PLANNING.

So, my dear, get busy constructing a plan.
With the right plan, and with an understanding of how some obstacles are internal and some are external ... your chances for success go way up!

The thing about actually being independent ... if you fail, you can only point to yourself.
When you've lived your entire life in an emotionally sick family, where responsibility and blame are meshed & fused with each other ... becoming an independent unit is just about the most frightening thing you can imagine.

You have a role to play in your family.
That is a given.
Your family also has a role they play in your life.
Giving up your family dynamic for your own mental health is UNACCEPTABLE - according to everything you've been taught.

I think, shedding your role in the family dynamic and painting a big RED target on your backside ... is one scary prospect, indeed.

But, with planning and with encouragement, you can do this.

Does Walmart offer an EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE program? (see below)
Ask your HR department.
They might have a professional you can talk to.

Also, go to Al-Anon meetings.
Google al-anon and your zip code.
Call the number, tell them you need a ride.

My mother had absolutely NO maternal instinct whatsoever. 5 kids before 21. Didn't seem very interested in caring for me. Came to visit once when I was 10 to persuade grandpa to adopt me and left town when he said no.

Haven't seen her in years.

This is one reason why I do not plan to have children...a lack of patience; and the lack of a good mothering role model. (I had my grandmother, yes, but that is not the same as one's mother)

I've been applying to all sorts of jobs in the areas, if I could get one fulltime, I'd be fine. I'd be confident that way; rent is of a decent level and I could make it on my own until June (when friends' lease is up).

What about plans for your education? I know that you are very young, the age of my children. Right now, they are both in college.

It's cheaper to go to school as a state resident, so that is something to consider. You can't establish residency immediately, you have to be there for a certain amount of time. I would really encourage you to explore educational/career possibilities.

I'll put in my 2 cents.

Front Range usually doesn't get hit as hard as the rest of the country as far as economically (sp). Suppose to be a new Walmart in Windsor, Colorado which is north of Denver.

Best of Luck. We moved her in '04 and cannot think of living anywhere else! Colorado Rocks!

I've found a relatively cheap apartment in CO Springs, only $399 a month (the roommates are considering moving to that area too, it's still up in the air with then). However there's a hump I need to get over; the hump being...my new credit.

How do I get over that? I've only started credit at a furniture store and that's it, I can't get credit anywhere.

Could I get over it by paying several months rent in advance? What do you all suggest?

Hi karma-

I am glad that you are creating a plan for your Denver move. About the "new credit" issue: It's possible to show credit worthiness through a history of on-time paid bills. Sometimes a cell phone bill with on-time payments can count as "credit". Also, utilities and other monthly bills can show the same. (Since the trailer is in your name, I am assuming that the utilities and such are also in your name-hopefully).

Having some money in the bank can also show that you are "credit worthy". I think if you have enough money in the bank to pay several months of rent in advance, that will also be a plus.

Can you transfer from your job to another one in the same company? It's worth checking into, because employment history is also a consideration for credit.

You could always call the landlord or property management company and let them know that you are not a person who uses credit cards, so you would like to know what is needed to be able to rent from them.

Hope this helps-
