Again, thank you all and my God bless each and every FReeper!
While I'm here, I'll update our situation regarding the group home that is holding my mentally retarded brother-in-law hostage, so to speak. Mr. M and I consulted an attorney and are hopeful (finally) that at Friday's hearing, the judge will see that b-i-l's allegations did not come from him but from the people who are exerting undue and cruel influence over him. Meanwhile, Dad went to the home this evening to pick up his son for their usual Wednesday night dinner, and the people once again locked the door and refused to permit him to enter, let alone to see his son. They said b-i-l would rather stay there and watch them hang curtains than go out to dinner. Of course, they didn't even tell b-i-l that his dad was there to see him, so he probably thinks he's been abandoned (just what they want him to think). I continue to marvel at this incredible level of cruelty. Anyway, we're hopeful we can get him out of this mess come Friday, and will update all you prayer warriors then.
