[QUOTE="ksm, post: 759883, member: 12511"] Part 2... I can't edit original... I am using talk-to-text to write this so if I miss some of the mistakes I apologize in advance. I haven't posted much since granddaughter had a baby almost a year ago. I have not posted since then. It seemed like she was a very attentive mom for the first 6 months. There has always been drama between her and her boyfriend. In mid-January we helped her purchase a vehicle as we were still driving her to and from work. And now it seems as if things have gotten worse. The car is 18 years old so it's not a large Financial investment. And we did a secure loan for her to pay back $1,000 high paying $50 every other week Unfortunately, he has been driving it and it no longer looks like the well taken care of vehicle that it was. He is 23 and has never had a license, but has many tickets for driving without one. There are different colored paint scrapes on both sides of the car, a side mirror is missing and a dent. His mother has reached out to me that she thinks he is using again, not just weed. She called for a welfare check on the baby and the police was called. She is an alcoholic and she is scared that they will lose the baby to CPS. He has had termination of rights to two other children. And so did those babies moms. She thinks she can have the baby removed, placed with her brother and his wife who are a foster family. I tried to explain that is not how it works. She was the only one home and police felt things were safe, but t it was a close call... Last week police was called again, two men broke into their apartment thru the bedroom window. DGD has a friend staying there as she had broke up with her boyfriend.. it was her boyfriend and his friend who broke in and battered her, and DGD called 911. They are now in jail on 100,000. Bond. Besides all that, our neighbor is in hospice. Two years ago she came to us and asked us to have power of attorney for medical decisions. We said yes. She had a family member she did not trust. And now we understand why. My husband, I and a long term friend and coworker of hers was named. After she ended up in the ER a week ago, we opened the packet of papers and found she had given us regular powers of attorney. We called her attorney on Monday morning and he told us that we needed to go to her bank and be added to her account. Then we played detectives and started canceling her cable and wifi. She only had enough to pay for cremation. We arranged all that. The attorney who drew up The Power of Attoyrney papers said she did not make a will with him.
