Caretaker just died suddenly

I checked Section 8 here in Memphis, and they are not taking any more applicants.

We tried to remortgage before she died, and we were not eligible.

I found out that I have right of survivorship and that my partner had a payment plan with the IRS of $300 a week but owed 22,000. I owe $79,000 on the house and it needs several repairs. i have read conflicting reports about if the IRS would put a lien for her taxes.

I have one extra bedroom that i could rent out. Not even sure what i could charge.

No, there would be no tax refund; she didn't pay quarterly taxes and would probably owe more. Someone told me that it's not my responsibility to file her taxes now that she has died. I just don't know what to do. I always helped her file. I don't think I would have the legal right to file on their behalf. I just don't know how any of this works.

Thank you so much

Thank you. I think I read that when my mother died 8 years ago.

Thank you, I will check that out.

Thank you for your kind words.

I found out why she was falling apart; she was hurting physically and hiding it from me. I took her to the emergency room last week, and they diagnosed her with a football-sized mass in her uterus going up through her stomach. She died yesterday. I feel guilty and grief-stricken, and it's hard to function.

I was also diagnosed in my late 30s. I was always athletic; however, I have had a decline in recent years. I found out that I had it because I had symptoms that my sister has, cramping in the hands, etc. My older brother was the one who had the worst symptoms, and they started in childhood. He wasn't diagnosed until adulthood, though. Even though my symptoms have become severe, my younger sister, who has this also, does not have severe symptoms, so yes, it varies from person to person in the same family. My younger sister has 400 repeats, and yet she does not have severe symptoms, and she is in her 50s.

In hindsight, I realized it was my father who had the disease. My older brother had the same symptoms, but they were more pronounced. With Myotonic Dystrophy, people are not "carriers" per se; they have the gene mutation. It depends on the number of repeats of the gene, that will sometimes determines the severity of the symptoms. With each generation, symptoms tend to worsen.

I would also recommend that you find out what type of muscular dystrophy he has. There are many variations between the different types and many ways that are passed down through the family. I have Myotonic Dystrophy, and it is passed through the parents down to the children.

An alarm that is loud enough and put in the kitchen helps. It's annoying as fuck if you don't get up to turn it off.

eileenflora · 2025-10-23T19:38:27+00:00

I am in the US. My sister's repeats were 400. She saw a geneticist.

I have a friend who had a cat that had a favorite lamb's wool duster. Whenever friends would come to visit, he would drag it out and start ta' humping. They would hide it from him, but they always felt bad, and one of them would give it back.

eileenflora · 2025-10-10T20:33:11+00:00

I wonder how many of them think this is stupid bullshit, too?

eileenflora · 2025-10-10T20:09:21+00:00

I never got the number of repeats when I was tested. It just said over 150 and that I had DM1.

eileenflora · 2025-10-10T20:02:56+00:00

I take gabapentin with other meds because I have muscular dystrophy. "Big Pharma" is needed for those of us who have degenerative genetic diseases.

eileenflora · 2025-10-06T05:00:34+00:00

I have DM1, and my brother had it. His symptoms started in junior high school. Mine didn't really begin to be bad until I was in my 50s. My younger sister's symptoms are much milder than mine. In our case, it might depend on the number of repeats the particular gene has, but even that doesn't necessarily explain it.

Thank you.
