excellent advice, sky.......they told me not to come in today because they didn't 'want' anything to happen? i am also going to call a lawyer for myself because this son in law seems intent upon libeling and slandering me. and your point of me keeping her alive, wow~ that really makes sense......because this man is that evil. he's always made a living scamming and cheating. he sees me as a huge threat to this big house and the huge farm she owns. i had not thought of it quite the way you put it.....yeah, she'll be neglected, won't be fed properly and meds might even be 'forgotten'........whoa,,,,this makes me cry....she is so helpless and sweet....she used to be really mean to me but she quit that a long time ago and told me last night when i left how much she loves me. thank you for your words.........they mean a lot to me. pat p.s i'm really, really depressed over this.
