[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 702747, member: 18958"] Would you believe my sister is an attorney? A law professor at that? Where does the hatred come from, 4now? In my case I think my sister seeks always to gain the advantage no matter, and justifies the means she uses to gain it. If another is able to protect themselves, she sees this as aggression against her and the other as a perpetrator. It sounds like this is what your sister does, too. These kinds of people are very dangerous. I am wondering what I will do next year. As Cedar wrote I can write again; my sister cannot define me or my actions and choices. However, what would I be seeking really, if I were to contact her again? What is there really to hope for? I ask myself if I did wrong, to help my mother seek legal help to minimize the damage to her that my sister could do. Or if I did help her, was I bound ethically to tell my sister first. I am guffawing here at the thought. My sister would have crushed us. I have no doubt of it. There had been already by this time concrete and serious actions my sister had taken against my mother--moving her from a hospital to a nursing home, without her knowledge and consent--when she had had mild diverticulitis. It so happened to coincide with the time the moving van to move my sister across country was arriving--how much easier to load my mother's furniture in as her own. Which I have no doubt was the plan. Which was illegal as I had joint capacity to make care decisions and estate decisions, and I had not been advised so as to protect either my mother or myself. That was when the truly overt hostility began. Because I called my mother and told her she could leave the nursing home, and so she did. She had 2 more years of independence in her own home, as a consequence, and lived fully during much of that period. Those were my crimes. No matter how much the events recede in time, they are so fresh. How could there be such hurts so deep? When you know. [/QUOTE]
