A little note to apologize for my absence to all my dear friends...
I have missed all dearly and just wanted to let you all know that you are thought of daily.
My hubby was home since last Friday thanks to the threat of Noel and just left this morning for his last week on his dig at Corkscrew.
During this time, I have been trying everything I can with lawyers, advice, and trying to keep true to karmic possibilities as probate, contesting of wills and Samhain have taken up much of my time at home.
Packing up boxes, making donations to charities and dealing with the after effects of losing loved ones has been a time consuming as well as painful process for me and to top it off, I get a visit from a State Agency with an anonymous claim from somewhere out of the blue that I had neglected and abused my would have been mother-in-law.
Thank Goddess Eugene was home when this unexpected visit came because I almost lost it. I had spent the last 3 years of my life dedicated to taking care of the woman who gave me a wonderful gift of love with her and her son only to have her daughter belittle, berate, degrade and bash me and my good intentions to keep her mother safe and happy in her twilight years.
Greed is the motive of this baby boomer that thinks the world owes her everything and I am deeply hurt by the woman who called me sister.
Thanks to this womans efforts, State Guardians got into the picture and every week we had a visitor from the office at random times and nothing of the sort was ever inclined as to my treating her poorly in any fashion, and the respite care worker who came to the house always had nothing but nice things to say as to the care and attention I provided to someone I called "mom" even though she was not blood related and I was not married into the family - I was treated as such till they expired.
I have been busy obtaining witness testimonies, trying to find an attorney who would work with me to no avail as State Statutes are against me at every twist and turn. My "sister-in-law" won't even pick up the phone to answer my calls and is being a real pain dealing only with attorneys.
I am at such a loss and very angry so not very good at the moment being a friend. My German/Irish/Indian temper is flaring and I suffered a bad asthma attack Samhain morning and my health is at risk.
I have been taking a time out to care for myself because I have so much to live for. I have love in my heart, a very dear man - my husband as well as our 4 dogs and 2 cats to share my life with. No matter what material and monetary objects she tries to take from me, I am far richer having love and friends who understand that I am a human being with feelings and not the rock I portray helping everyone else.
My world as I know it is changing and I will lose my home so I have to roll with it, but by the Gods/Goddesses I will not be taken advantage of or taken for granted. I have some fight left in me to at least get out of it what I put into it.
All I ask is that you are patient with me while I get through this difficult time and know you are in my heart, mind and spirit always.
In Love and Light,
V
