Homes bulging as Floridians move back in with parents

Deb Jacobs left home nearly four decades ago, saying goodbye to her mom and dad to start her adult life.

Now, at 58 years old, she is returning.

No longer able to afford her mortgage, and following a failed attempt to get a loan modification on her home near West Palm Beach, Jacobs is moving in with her 89-year-old mother in Wellington.

Hers is among 1.2 million households that have been lost to the recession as job cuts and foreclosures forced families to move in together or kept adult children at home.
