How hateful. I look at it another way. God requires repentance in order for us to get forgiveness for serious wrongdoing. I don't see repentance in what you've told us.

But letting go of your anger is important. At least taking it down a few notches. Righteous indignation is motivating, it gets us to fight for what is right. But a certain level of anger can also motivate us to lash out and sin ourselves.

From where I sit (knowing so very little about you and your mom and the whole situation, for sure!) it looks like your mom is actually winning.....she gets to live with you in her golden years. You and your boys are the ones who truly love her and express it properly. That is worth far more than a house and a truck and any money.

And yes, she is cleaning houses. Yours. Which obviously makes her very happy! and for the Bat

Yep! I definitely win! We are strong women and we will survive this also. I'm so used to balancing my house of cards, financially, that this doesn't seem like a disaster to me~but mamma has lived a long time on a fixed income, good credit and no rent or mortgage, so I'm sure this is a little more upsetting for her.

BUT....she is not dwelling there and is currently playing cards with the grandkids and having a great time. We are trying to keep her busy and productive, which is her natural state.

hugs all around!!! Your mom is very brave and so are you for sticking up for her!

Bee, I will be doing a cleansing/renewal ceremony this evening. If it is ok with you, I would like to include you and your mother in my prayers.

WOW Bee,..Things have been rocking right along since my last visit here. I was curious to see how things were going with you all. I didn't get to read everything, but from what I have seen I do truly hope you and your siblings and parents can get these matters resolved. I know it is very complicated, but hopefully in due time, healing can and will begin for you all. Just remember, right now is about what your mother wants and listen to her with an open heart and listen well. Time is precious and nothing else matters,....
Take care.

Bee, I wish that there was some way that I could be of some direct help.

to both of you, and may you come to know that all will work out.

Thanks, you guys! FD, all prayers appreciated!

Mom is going to a lawyer this week to see what her rights are. One sis is going to pay for this. We are all going to pitch in $100 per month to pay the truck payment until she can sell it and downsize into a cheaper vehicle.

This will get better! The toxic siblings? Hey, God can make the blind to see and raise the dead.....He can surely make them human if He so wishes!

I rather think this was their chance to finally do the right thing with their lives....I would say they are now given over to a reprobate mind. Sad and I wish it weren't so, but all their actions seem to point to true psychopathic thinking.

It's a beautiful day outside and my heart is starting to heal, so things are looking better.

Welcome back, you prodigal son& daughter!(Tallman and UTC)

I noticed the rest of the family is really getting closer since the toxic trio pulled this. There is some good coming out of it. Plus you get to be with your sweet Mom.

 

[Beekissed]

That is always a blessing!

I hope this newfound closeness will last but I don't hold much hope for it....too long ingrained. One sib is a JW, so she isn't really allowed to have too much contact with us, one is an atheist and his wife controls where he goes and to whom he talks---and she doesn't like his family, and one sis is always a little emotional but fluctuates quickly.

This leaves the oldest and youngest, which were already close, so I'm hoping you are right, Laurel, and this incident will let these others see how important family is. We shall see!

Bee thank you,..it is good to be back. I just wanted to let you know that the thing about your mother drawing from your dads SS if they were divorced can be done. I have an aunt who lives in the northern part of our state. Her husband and her divorced years ago and he remarried. She became disabled and filed for her SS and she could and is drawing from her ex-husband. It isn't much, but it helps. She never worked outside the home either,stayed home and took care of her children and done what she thought was her job,...just for him to walk out on her after their children was raised, and of course for a younger woman. She is now 72 and has had a heart transplant,anal cancer and recently,..breast cancer. She has survived it all and is cancer free. She is such an inspiration to me. She is strong and has been through more than any one person should have to bear. Women are much stronger than most think,...

Edited to say,...the SS is for social security not Sufficent Self,..
