Thank you all for your support.

My mother has sold the house and will hand it over to the new owner by end of April. There goes my Cuba trip. LOL But I feel better about it and will just pack the things that belong to me and store them at my place until I know what to do with them. I´ll go to Cuba later, maybe in the fall.

To me the family home is a mixture of safe haven and a place forbidden to me when I was a teenager as I was a criminal youth and sometimes lived on the streets. I used to think about that home with such nostalgia when I was living under bridges, but then I realized that nothing is a safe haven. You make your surroundings safe, but you only have it for a while.

This is a big event though and sure feels funny. It makes you feel old as well. But I´m used to stress and in some way I think I thrive on it.
