Sounds like some sort of control thing Baz.

Yeah I think you are right. I consider it to be a form of emotional bullying Anyway, update from solicitor is she has the lions share of the funds with only two small amounts to be received. Presumably means we need to push on with the property sale either that or settle up and leave the property empty with a fund left behind to pay factors bills The next few weeks should be fun, especially if BiL turns up to our son’s wedding despite his refusal to have anything to do with us. He has accepted. |

Won’t be easy but as long as he keeps his distance from you and Mrs Baz then enjoy your day. I managed to keep well away from my ex at our son’s wedding.

My crazy mother must’ve filled in a letter for her electricity meter readings and sent them back. Picking random numbers like a bingo caller. Went from £335 in credit to £1,600 in debit. Every fecking week there’s something. |

When pensions went from books to bank accounts she filled in random numbers and wasn’t receiving a state pension for two years. I think she was brought up on a diet of lead soup.

Mum, 82 y/o dementia patient is now in hospital with a fractured ankle following her 4th fall (that we know about) in the space of a month. She's been in the care home since March and has not settled at all. She is on the full adult doses for both anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds. This is to be reviewed in case it's contributing to her falls, but despite being well fed she is very frail and unsteady on her feet. Current care home might not be able to meet her needs for much longer. Last time my brother went to visit, she told him to F-off and tried to attack him with her zimmer frame. When I went a week or so later, she wasn't making much sense, not complete gibberish, but I couldn't make out what the trailing stories were about. Not after any advice or anything, just checking in! |
