Sorry I have not been here. Between emailing an out-of-town friend, emailing my siblings about problems of our aging parents, & work, I have no time for FReeping. I appreciate any and all prayers during this time. Dad was hospitalized for his thyroid & malnutrition in Sept ‘07, he survived. He had been dividing his time between his girlfriend, who is my age & is an hour & 1/2 away, & his house up here about 20-30 by highway from my house. During the last 4 years while I was working 2 jobs to catch up on my debts, his girlfriend talked him into mortgaging his house to buy her a farm. The way the deed is written it will go to her when he dies & he has made NO provisions for his death other than putting the names of my brother & I on his 2 houses. His life ins. bene’s weren’t even up to date. It has been a maddening mess that we are still working on. Dad is still alive, but I don’t think he’s doing well mentally.

Please pass on this info to anyone who remembers me &/or who might pray for us. Thank you.

It is so good to see you again, PAL!

Of course, you and your family will be in our prayers.
Thank you for letting us know.

I will check your link later.

Hang in there and know that you have friends here.

HUGS!!

PAL, it is wonderful to see you here again, but it sounds like you have some real serious family issues you are dealing with. It is so easy for some people to manipulate older people, and so sad when it happens in your family and you are unable to intervene. I will say a prayer for you and for your dad.

Turn not aside, discouraged one, Stir up your gift, pursue your goal,
In God's own time you'll see Him work,
He'll give you hope and lift your soul.

Butting in here, so you can ignore me if you like. It sounds like what she did was establish a Joint Tenancy on the property and all his worldly goods, makes her the executor of all. I discovered this when my uncle died, that his wife had done this effectively cutting out any of his blood relatives (not hers). He was the first to go and was not fully aware of this. State laws regulate these issue; you need a lawyer.

Your “Dirt Roads” link is great; I love it. The part about a car full of zucchini is funny and oh so true...:) Chin up.

Oh dear! What a mess and he is obviously just looking after himself along the way.

Have you consulted a lawyer about all of this? Seems there must be something you can do to protect yourself.

And as I tell my 89 year old mom regularly.. You just might outlive me mom.. and he might outlive you all.

Prayer for you for strength & peace in all this..
