My sisters and I are dealing with a traumatizing situation. My mother died a year and a half ago. We knew my brother was a controlling person, but never dreamed he would do what he did. But he managed to emotionally abuse(we found out later from a friend and home worker she confided in) and financially abuse her. It was basically like the Stokholm syndrome. He was so controlling and she just went along with what he wanted. And what he wanted was everything she had financially. He managed to paint me as the demon so therefore I had no contact with my mother for the last two years of her life. And he managed to drain all her savings before she died and had her sign over half the property to her. In the beginning, I was so traumatized that my mother had to deal with this in the last years of her life.
Anyway,my three sisters have legal rights to a small amount of property and all we want is for him to buy us out. If you had told me that one person could use the legal system and stall and was able to drag us into court and have us pay unnecessary legal expenses--I never would have believed you.
Today there is a court hearing and the judge had ordered a settlement conference. But this doesn't mean it will happen. My brother is a narcissist and probably has a personality disorder and he just turns everything into a circus.
My sister and my husband are at the courthouse now. I was not feeling well enough to go. My sisters and I all have health issues and the stress of all of this has made our problems worse.
Please pray that there will be a settlement so we can have some closure and begin healing. I don't feel we were even able to grieve our mother properly because we found out all about this days after the funeral from the family funeral. Basically, it was a huge scam that even involved his attorney.
Thanks so much for your prayers,
Cindy
