Desperate Help Needed - Noah

[Russian Blue]

Wow, what a difficult situation! I haven't had much time for the forums (and rarely come down to General)so forgive me for only seeing this now!

I think Karen's idea is a good one. Get the parents out while you move - way easier! And if things are that heated, Johanna's suggestion of a cop wouldn't be bad either. At least it would keep it civil while they are there.

I'd also leave a letter explaining everything...exactly as how you see it. A letter is often better, since you have time to word it correctly, instead of in the heat of a face to face discussion.

We went through something a tad similar.....Rob's mother. She accused him of everything and anything. She told him to pick sides (parents are divorced) and said Rob was doing things behind her back (which he wasn't). As you can imagine, Christmas was wonderful.

Rob decided 4 years into our relationship that it wasn't worth maintaining a relationship with his mother because of all the threats and bitterness. We haven't had any contact with her in 8 years and it is so much better. Sometimes it's better to choose who you have in your life, rather than just accepting a negative relationship that hurts your own health/well being.

I wish you the best Kelly - for your health and a new beginning.

IF they hold power of attorney, you need the following ...
Revocation of Power of Attorney - allows you to revoke a power of attorney document. Go to your lawyer and get that taken care of before you move.

Here's a link from PT explaining what's going on: http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...&page=16&pp=15 (link opens at page 15, where most recent update began)

Good news is that I'm ESCAPING this hell-hole. Well, its nowhere near a hell-hole in all ways but emotionally! I've reached that point and I've about JUMPED way over it. I'm done dealing with the constant lack of respect, meanness, rudeness, and abuse I'm inflicted with daily. Daily from people (well, at least my freaking mother) that should be acting the exact opposite! Ugh.

Move-in date is 2/2/08 and I cannot wait!!!

I'll try and post some pictures of floorplans, etc here....

Floorplan:


Floorplans above: Its 1166 sq feet and is a dual master. Looking at the plans like the are now, just above this sentence, my bedroom is the one on the LEFT side. See how my very own bathroom is INSIDE my room? Meaning, in order to get to the bathroom in MY room, you'd have to come INSIDE my room - LOVE that privacy! The entry is at the top of this picture, in the middle. We enter into the living and dining rooms, with the kitchen low bar right there as well. There are WINDOWS galore! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE natural light and this place is dripping with it! We get AM sun and can see the sunset from the balcony. We do not get afternoon sun, not the hot stuff. Bad for some roses, but most plants will grow on our balcony - which btw my room opens up onto!! There is a sliding glass door via the dining room as well. See? TONS of natural light!

MY closet is GINORMOUS! It could be a den or something! I'll be putting the litter boxes in there, along with anything else I want! ha ha

OK, here are more pictures and I'll keep going...oh, these pictures are from the ArchStone website, not the acctual apartment:


This is the entry door (see that door???) and the kitchen with the bar surrounding. Don't you love the cabinets and those two nice windows?? Its so nice and well-lit without much artificial light.



Here is the dining room and the kitchen. That door way leads to my room - if this was our apartment. Its funny though, its the exact layout, model, colors, etc. We just don't have that "stuff" or furnature. Its nice seeing these pictures to remind me, I didn't realize the kitchen cabinets had that ledge area for us to put stuff up there to decorate...fun!!



The model's version of Kristin's room. Aren't the windows lovely? Oh, did I mention we're upstairs?? Not sure if I did or not. I love and much prefer upstairs units for safety reasons - and they tend to offer more of that natural light I keep talking about.



No pictures of my room but there's one of my bathroom - I think.


We also have a washer and dryer enclave over by the front door and Kristin's bathroom. OMGosh!! That is soooooooooo wonderful - that was just icing on the already wonderful cake!!


This is the exterior of the apt complex (Archstone) down over by the main enterence. Our outsides are stucco, I think. Will find out...

More coming in next post...
