Marlboro, You definately do not sound incompetent here. And if your mom proceeds with this action, you must seek legal representation. This is too important to you and your future to ignore or pretend it will go away. Every lawyer has a duty to provide some volunteer legal services as apart of obtaining and keeping their license. That means thewill give you legal advice for free. Look up Legal Aid in your phone book and if you can't find someone, you just let me know where you live and I will find somebody to represent you. I will be absent from PC until Saturday but just send me a pm and I will work on getting you some contacts.

Please do this for yourself. You will be so proud of yourself once you can be free of this distructive environment. Take care and I hope to hear from you very soon. I am a lawyer myself tho my license is inactive right now because it is very expensive to keep an active license when you are unable to gain employment in a field you love and were great at and could be great agsin, if someone would just give a 57 yo woman achance.

I have stepped down from my soapbox and I am asking you seriously to please pm me.
Peace,
Nobody
