I heard one of the Schiavo brothers on Greta tonight. He said the bad blood btw Schindlers and Schiavo dates from the malpractice award - - that Mr. Schindler wanted some of it, and was mad he wasn't getting any. What's up with this?

Just from memory, nothing more ...

The Schindlers had assumed expenses for Terri's rehab ... some, or all to be paid back when Terri's lawsuit was settled. I understand the husband from hell gave them nothing.

Michael says when he was awarded the $2.1 million for Terri's care (and his lack of companionship - pfffftt! yeah, right), Mr. Schindler confronted him and wanted to know how much of it HE (Mr. Schindler) was going to get, angry that Michael wouldn't share the wealth.

The Schindlers, on the other hand, say the confrontation was a wee bit different. When Michael was awarded the cash in January 1993, he had not spent a nickel on Terri by February, and Mr. Schindler approached him. Now that he had the money, he argued, Michael should be getting Terri some rehab and treatment. Instead, Michael signed DNR papers for Terri and forbade the hospital to do any form of therapy. This, the Schindlers say, is what the argument over money was about.

I leave the version you choose to believe to your own judgment.

Four months after Michael got the award, just four months, he discontinued Terri's therapy. Michael had promised the Shiavo's money to help care for Terri.....they didn't get any of it.

Michael Schiavo CLAIMS they were angry they didn't get money out of it. They claim they wanted it for Terri's care. I have seen and heard both families. I would believe the Schindlers over the Schiavos any day. I was stunned by how rough, arrogant and threatening the Schiavo brother's were. And definitely BULLIES. They told a number of lies.

On Larry King Live, Michael said withdrawing food and water from Terri was NOT starvation. If Michael will lie about something we can all call him on, what else has he lied about??????
