When family attacks/elder care and sibs rant.

[Catsnclay]

I really enjoy your threads Richard!

You make my family look like a bunch of Angels!!! Thank you!






>>>>my update:

I think I like my situation much better than yours........we communicate through our $$$$ attorneys and although it does cost a lot, we don't have the screaming-in-your-face fights like we use to. Now I get to read her side, scream and kick all I want, then my husband settles me down, I repy to Lawyer, and he makes my reply MUCH nicer than I would have ever!! He uses those big words that my sister cannot understand -Yeah, way to go!!!



We have an arbitration meeting on Friday, my father's attorney, my attorney, Tim & me, Sister & her attorney, plus a (paid, naturally) arbitrator will all be sitting down and trying to put this all to an end.

Oh how I wish this will be the end, but something in my heart is telling me that this will drag out - forever......and the sad part - my father is still alive, so if this does get settled, it will start all over again when he passes. So yes, this will never end!

>>>>end of my rant.




Remember Richard........YOU do NOT have to be everyone's keeper. You do what needs to be done by you, and eff them all! Sounds to me they are all still in denial and keep running to you with their problems, just because they know they can dump on you. Time for this to stop!

Good luck!! I know this won't be easy for you. <sorry!>

Wow Richard, I can't believe what you are having to deal with. You are making me count my blessings. I only have to deal with a trouble making nutjob sister in law who luckily lives far enough away I don't have to deal with her often.

I hope the renter will stick to her guns and not pay them. A little stomach upset and barfing will do your brother some good, especially if he blows some darling wifey's way.

Hang tough!!

Hang tough!!

Will DO!


Last night I went next doot to my mom's house and they had come by to wash his truck and watch some TV. This was the first time I talked to them in almost two weeks.

I told my brother to split and that he had some nerve to show up and sit there. He smarted back for about three minutes and she would not even look at me. LOL-So, I switched on the micrwave, without the benefit of the power strip and it tripped the circuit breakers out door. The lights went out and they split.

God forgive me for being such an arse! NOT!

At the very least, this is showing me how to deal with situations here with people that are being stupid and dense. It may be my Alamo, but I will go down swinging, kicking and biting!

I have an update on my older sister and just what an AH she is!

I heard this story from my bro and nephew who went to visit Ma while she was there....check this out!

My mom is a sports fan and won't pass up the chance to needle us about our football team-She is a Denver fan and we are Raider fans.

Sis was there and my nephew walked in to tell her that the Radiers had lost. He prefaced it by saying, "Granny, good news and bad news....do you want the bad news first?" Sis flew into a snit and scolded him by saying, "Why are you bringing her bad news?" This from the "woman" who went to mom about her bills while she was in pretty crappy spirits at the time!

MY nephew told Ma that the bad news was our team had lost, Mom loved it and started to laugh. Sis got bent outta shape and when the boys left would not even acknowledge them.

Sheesh.


C and C,

They are putting the distance in because they always thought that I was the one that would fold. Being a hardass isn't fun, but they never cut me any slack when we were growing up, the STOP BUCKS HERE!

I will make it.

It's the poor slobs who aren't mentally tough that will crumble.

Thanks again my friends and really don't judge my family by what I write...

They know not what they do!
