Maintenance/Repairs

So I have a 2002 Chevy Impala pretty much has over heated since I got it but I kept water in in everyday. Never got stalled or stranded. Anyways 1 years later all of a sudden my car over heated bad although it overheated it’s still ran like a brand new car never no problems ran great. Well it started over heating even with water it was bizarre then we realized the fuse for fan some reason kept blowing. So on a 25 minute drive home we had to stop six times to change the fuse just so we could get home. Car ran great again soon as fuse was replaced. Anyhow I decided to not drive it until I took it into a real mechanic he said that my head gasket was blown. I could not understand or agree. I mean how could that be? my car runs so good. I can never afford replacing the the engine. I’m a camp fire Survivor lost everything in the fire in paradise. I barely can afford much of anything yet alone replace my ingine so I heard about bars gasket sealer there was a lot of different opinions on it but at this point it was my only hope I had left to save my car for a little while longer . So I did it exactly like they said . I noticed at time time we were letting car idle for that 15 min all the white smoke just went away still does not smoke. I was happy figured omg it must have worked. Well we drove it around block every thing was fine heater was hot I was so happy. Another day I want to see the grandkids they’re about 10 minutes away break My gage that tell you when your car is hot it’s hot kept going back and forth to high them back to the middle. So I panicked and got my car home fast. Two days later I changed out the thermostat. So again it ran perfectly then it over heated again! even though full of water and antifreeze the fuse kept blowing out every time we put a new fuse it blows. I can’t understand what’s going on. So frustrated all I know is something is shorting out the fuse to my fan in my car. Do you know what to think where the shirts coming from or maybe the fan isn’t working well we can’t figure out what keeps shorting the fuse my life very hectic right now I’m losing my mind from my car and not be with out my car. I feel so sad. I just no despite all this she still runs like a brand new car until it over heats . Well somebody told me today but I can’t straight a fan to my car battery and then I run for it and I will not sure about that either. And if my circumstances I can’t afford to buy any parts or repair anything in so if anybody have any input on this so I can do good safety to do that to my fan please somebody help me.
