PrayersHello, I just registered tonight (I had a membership a few years ago but site states no record of enrollment) because I need help so badly. I am just completely heartsick and so very frightened.
I am a 76 year old female who has lived with an 89 year old man for over seven years. I love him more than anyone in the world, and I know he feels love for me.
I have cooked, cleaned and looked after him all these years until I got down fairly recently and cannot do what I used to do.
About a year ago this man's son, a rather mentally slow, never-married ex-alcoholic came to live with us. Recently, he has had to assume most of the things I used to do for his father. Although he has been mostly silent, I thought he understood my situation. I do let him borrow my car and pay him for the errands he runs.
Apparently, I was sadly naive.
The two grown children of the man I live with came in from San Antonio and Houston and presented me with an 'eviction' notice- that my 'lease' was not being renewed. The typed statement that stated I had 30 days to collect my belongings and vacate.
I was completley shocked, bewildered and humiliated.
(The presentation of the 'eviction' was made by the son who came to my room and was accompanied and witnessed by the daughter's 'boyfriend', a 60 year old stranger whom I had never seen before, and who stood back with the son as if waiting for a real show- just to add to the humiliation)
As I said, I love this man, and I know he loves me- even though he signed the 'eviction' notice.
There is nothing wrong with his mind. He is still sharp- just a semi-invalid.
I know that the son who moved in, reported things that were not true to the others. I know they just ganged up on him until they made him agree. His children always made it plain that they did not want me in their father's house, no matter how much I did for him.
It came down to the point that when I spoke to them, they would ignore me.
Many times I happened to walk by and heard the daughter on the phone (he keeps it on 'speaker phone') saying rude and untrue things about me.
I suspect they are afraid he will leave some of his money to me.
I am just so broken hearted. I don't want to leave this man, and I am weak and a partial invalid myself, with no money and nowhere to go.
Please offer your prayers for me.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I am so very frightened.
Mary
I need your prayers, please
