What is bankruptcy like?

[LibertyLover]

11. It sucks under the new and "improved" bankruptcy laws -

especially if you have to go Chapter 13. I will probably never own a house again and be at the whim of a feckless landlord. There are dogs who will die because I can't offer them a home. Of course, if my asshole of a husband had gotten a job like he promised, I probably wouldn't have had to file. It would have been difficult but I would have managed. But he dug his heels in and refused to work. Now he's finding life isn't so good - no vacations, little extra spending money for him to buy his stupid model train stuff and having to drive a used car. He had the nerve to tell me the other day that things would be better if only I made more money.
