[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 659485, member: 1550"] I have to admit your sister is FAR worse than mine. Mine did nothing like yours did and there was no fight over caring for dying mother or the will (I doubt she'd even seen it). She truly did love my mother and believes I am the offensive one. If she were like your sister, I would have said "adios" long ago and been gone, a coping mechanism I learned to be able to do because my FOO played "I'm here today/gone tomorrow" with me from early adulthood. However, the things your sister did were way beyond anything that went on in our family, maybe because I believe that not much money was at stake. Perhaps it would have been uglier if a lot of money had been at stake. It's hard to predict since it wasn't. I would hope I wouldn't have sneakily tried to be included...and I can't see me doing it. Your sister, Copa. Your sister. What a deranged piece of work (I am sorry if this is offensive...I aml just always so shocked when people just try to take power over dying relatives for t he money. It's sick in my opinion). I can't see what you would ever have to say to her, Copa. And she's a lawyer? Scary. People put their legal lives/money in her hands. I would be afraid of her power and make sure she didn't know where I was or what I was doing. Please be careful. The suburb I grew up in to me seemed to be consumed with love of money and material things. Everyone had to look richer than his/her neighbor. It was such a big turn off to me. I'd defiantly shop at stores that were unacceptable to the folks who lived there and by the time high school rolled around I was pretty and no longer getting picked on and I could wear whatever I dang near wanted and nobody said a thing. I had a dear friend, who I recently reconnected with, who taught me how to talk back to the bullies so that they didn't want to be around me and I promised myseslf nobody would ever bully me again. That never happened again at school, but it continued in my FOO, but I digress... Since then I have sort of been the anti-rich. I can't tolerate people who put too much faith in how happy money can make us, because I don't think it can. Copa, you are a much bigger person than your sister. I hope you take care of yourself regarding her. She wanted the entire pie and I'm so glad she didn't get it. the "why" here seems pretty simple. She.wanted.the.money. [/QUOTE]
