What happened to my old account since late November 2016?

    Thank you for your help. I think I’ve been hacked for the second time in the last 1.5 years. On Nov. 21, 2016, I changed my WordPress password & updated my WordPress & Sucuri apps even though I only had the bare bones of one page left on my site <http://wascallyweewilly.com&gt;. Everything seemed fine. Dec. 8 was the last time I got a Sucuri message that someone had failed to get into my site without the correct password. At the beginning of Feb, Sucuri sent out two WordPress alerts. I thought I’d better check my site & update WordPress/Sucuri. When I tried logging in, I mistakenly used my old password twice. When I started using the correct password (in 3 different browsers), it would not accept it. I tried the ‘Lost your password’ prompt, but I NEVER got a recovery email (tried 12x), even though I only use the specific email address for support. That’s when I knew I had a big problem. Yesterday, I tried WordPress’s account recovery form. The system instead moved me to establishing a new password. I used the new password, but when I did, my old site didn’t open. Instead, it led me to a different “new” WordPress blog under my full name rather than my old account??? Today I cannot get past the Account Recovery form to even send a message since it says my old blog doesn’t exist. I have no idea what happened. I pray someone can provide a few answers.
