Thanks, Bark. Yes, he is silver-tongued, which is common of people with no conscience/no remorse. He took their savings drip by drip... my mother is a hard-core enabler. He also got a big house and many cars from them. One of my siblings and I are banding against him... the others are afraid, because he will do anything, such as having one of my siblings beat to a pulp. It's crazy, but true. The sibling that was beaten had not only bad physical wounds, but developed PTSD. He won't attempt that on me, because of my sons and husband.

It is stuff that I would never do, and which I do not deserve, nor my siblngs. It all gives me a sick feeling, but if one hasn't been around such evil, it's hard to envision. That's another thing he counts on. Am trying to not let him have any control over my thoughts, and my life.
