Hi Byzantine-answer is that I was stupid in NY when I closed on house, was very stressed-lawyer (another crooked creep) advised me to put the money in one of my kids names---i did it-the checks were all made out to my son at the closing table.
No way to get the money back, as it was a verbal agreement=civil litgation=no lawyer would take it on because there was no proof that i hadn't just given the money to him. So stupid.....
He doesn't have the power to make decisions for me--but he has the power of the money to hold me back from doing what i need and want to do==money=POWER==ugly mess

Hi Lynn! How's Bella?--been praying for her (((Lynn))) (((Bella)))-thanks for the hugs--------need all i can get----it goes as it goes----theo
