An untold reason so much angst is engulfing me/us in returning to Houston is the recruitment of our two oldest offspring. Our oldest son is being blackmailed into working against us. They (police) tried entrapping me, but "caught" him instead. At first I thought of sacrificing myself to save his future and reputation, but he turned on us in such a wicked way I decided our youngest son was better off having a dad available than one paying for his brother's actions. The oldest son always did as whatever his sister told him ever since he was very little. I caught him just in time as she instructed him to drink lighter fluid when they were little kids. He still does as she instructs him.
Our daughter was recruited by an FBI informant early on when I went on disability. With my erratic destructive behavior, as I unravelled, she was easily recruited. He became her boyfriend and showered her with money/gifts. I had treated her as my little princess and spoiled her rotten. This created an attitude of entitlement in her I didn't realize I had created. The informant played this to perfection. He became her fiance'. She soon emptied his checking account then proceeded to empty his savings. She demanded more and more saying she deserved it. She was/is hooked on greed. They ultimately showed her how she could make thousands in easy money. She used her pet sitting job to gain access to her clients homes. She began invading their privacy by doubling as a "maid." She went through a neurologists records gaining info on a disability case the doctor was treating. She broke into another client's home under the guise of protecting their pets. Both of them acquired Driver's Licenses declaring them residents of our home. I can't even get a license when it's MY home.
The FBI informant had a childhood friend involved in a Columbian money laundering operation involving the bank where the informant worked. He used the job to illegally access peoples' financial transactions. Even non-customers' accounts were being accessed. The friend wanted more and more of the money laundering operation. He was ultimately invited to stay with the FBI informant and my daughter who now lived with him. They were to be married and were promised money from the FBI informant's parents, but they said they were wiped out financially due to stock market. Suddenly the friend staying with them was dead and the informant and my daughter suddenly had $50k show up out of nowhere. Shortly after this I caught my daughter squirting a liquid substance across my pills in my weekly pill caddy. Was/am I next? How did my daughter get a contract to the Navy allowing her to live on a Carribean island. I informed her that Navy contracts have to be bidded on and not handed out like candy. I threatened to go to my Congressman. They suddenly lost their contract. They then suddenly had money to go on frequent cruises and build a $350k house. I fear her now. When I felt I needed to tell our youngest son about his sister whom he worshipped. I tried to tell him she might've been involved in the "suicide" of the individual who was mixed up in the money laundering. I kept pausing/hesitating how to tell him. He just stopped me and said "She did it Dad. She pulled the trigger." I fear the two oldest. They remind me of the Menendez twins or the two sibling characters in the movie The House Of Yes. Now you know just how much money is involved and how close they're trying to close in to cash in. Please pray for our safety. Our youngest wants us to move to Canada. I want to move around the world to New Zealand. This is scary stuff. I feel my only defense is offense by contacting politicians and media. Houston is the Valley of Death to me. I have no idea how much the copmafia is involved. How do you go to the police about the.........police? Our youngest son is afraid for his life. He's done nothing wrong. They have damaged his faith in people. Now maybe you understand my triggers when it comes to police/politics/Texas/Episcopal Church/ (fake)conservatives/corporate abuse. I understand if you feel you have to remove this post. If it weren't happening to us, I just wouldn't believe it. It IS happening to us and I still can't believe it. What would YOU do?

praying

i don't recommend fighting a group like that

even honest officers can be controlled by corrupt superiors

a wise man sees trouble and hides himself - Proverbs 22:3 - Proverbs 27:12

try to move

maybe sell through a real estate agent so you can stay away from the house

make plans to move somewhere safe

praying for you your wife and youngest son to be safe and stay safe
 
daninthelionsden What would it take you to sale your house in Houston and just walk away from everything and start a new life in New Zealand for the sake of you and your families safety and peace of mind. You could always find a new publisher and as far as your daughter you have lost her, but yet keep praying for her as you never know you might have a prodigal daughter. Like they say you can not fight city hall and all I can see is you putting your family in the way of danger in trying to pursue something so dangerous that will probably never change anyway and will only bring harm, even death to your whole family. Sometimes you need to know to just walk away.

Always in my prayers.

All real estate agents/agencies refuse to list the house. I tried to dump it to a house flipper but the contract he sent had so many catches that allowed him to whittle away the sale price, we could've wound up with next to nothing. Real estate agents immediately trying to get you to dump the house to their flipper friends is unethical and a conflict of interest. We have one telling us to dump the house to his friend right there in an e-mail yet he still denied doing so. They also demand the house be emptied of our belongings. We were so desperate to get out we left 2/3 of our belongings behind. We have to go back or they will seize the house using the "unpaid" taxes strategy. The electric bill is rising for no apparent reason. COVID and crime run rampant. Corruption is everywhere in that city as corporate blood money runs through it like a river. They even gave my social security number to some illegal immigrant thug with an alias named "Cesar". After I went to Netflix, they pulled all photos of the 30ft banner I had on my roof. Scrubbed from the internet. Only 2 places still have the photo....Trulia and Realtor.com and those are distant enough you can't read it. My video and that banner kept them at bay, but they are slowly closing their jaws regardless. We have to empty the house regardless in order to sell.

Sometimes starting over means to just walk away from everything you have. If it was me I would let the house go for taxes, turn off all the utilities and not even think about your belongings in the house as they are only material things and the welfare of you and your families safety is more important then that. If everything is as bad as I believe as you said, why would you even want to go back there. It all might be a loss to you, but which is more important to you at this point involving your family in something that could kill all of you.

wow

praying for a miracle

is there a way you can sell the house yourself privately?

praying for God's intervention and protection
 
i'd be anxious, too. 'perfect love casteth out all fear...'

that one is on loop, imy mind. easy to quote the verse, -extremely- difficult to put into practice. -praying for you and your family- :-)

I hear you. If it were me I'd be on the next one way ticket to New Zealand. For a few years, I knew deep inside my daughter was most likely involved in Anthony being "suicided" but was in denial. It took my youngest son just blurting it out to reveal the horrific truth to my conscious mind. I even took some of the pills she contaminated. I couldn't bring myself to believe my eyes even though I could see the tiny liquid squirt droplet marks on the pills and saw her do it. Denial is a coping mechanism I have employed all my life. Our youngest son can't stand it here in Hawai'i and wants to go back. He hardly comes out of his room and refuses to go out alone.
My wife still employs denial as a coping mechanism and I let her somewhat stay in denial so she can continue to work without too much stress. She tries to explain away the events and there's not much I can say. While I can still influence some things, I do not have final say. She controls the finances. We did leave everything that is still left in the house and wrote it off. Ann and Mike refuse to let the house go. So I agreed we go back long enough to empty it, make some repairs, clean it up so it can be properly listed as an "As is". We need the money from the house to zero out our debt. We have wiped out our savings in the Hawai'i move. Debt is maxxed out. Our little trio is stressed out and I find we have to find common ground so I gave a little to hopefully try and evacuate Houston for good in a better financial condition. We have one more shot at this then we're financially spent for a while. Christian Faith Publishing is costing us a few hundred dollars a month. While that is a drain, we hope it pays off. If sales, by some miracle of God, skyrocket then I've found a way to make a living and I have much more leverage to dump the house and get out. It looks like CFP wants all their money first before they release the book. This won't be paid off til about August. Then they have all their money and won't care whether the book sells or not. I can't think of another reason for the foot dragging unless their being told to do so.

If I were able to handle the stress, I would try the "For sale by owner" route, but I fear we would get conned out of the house. Even though the realtors have thrown up road blocks, they are not insurmountable. We can clean it out and they do have to follow ethical/legal guidelines. We need the expertise they have. The listing as an "As is" I believe is our best route. We need to get about $126k gross so we can pay off all debt and have enough for another try to get out. This will cut all ties to Houston and hopefully we can then all get on the same page about leaving Houston/Texas/America. The houses are selling for about $250k in our area. The location is good. West Houston abutting Addicks Dam. No neighbors in back. Only neighbors on either side. We had foundation work done with a transferrable warranty. Just need to get a good roof on it then the basics are there. With that we might can get $100k. Hopefully satisfy Ann that she got SOMETHING for the house. There's so much riding on this book.
