Thank you, Stephanie.
Thank you all for your continued prayers. I do so need them.
Please pray that I get better. There are so many things I need to do, and I'm just too weak to do them.

Hang in there, Mary. Your old friends won't have forgotten you.

Have you discussed your situation with David, if he should predecease you? Because any uncertaint about your future survival would be a cause of a lot of stress - one of the main factors relating to poor health.

Dave's daughter is the instigator of this whole cruel plot against me.
Her hatred of me was apparent from the beginning.
Her abuse has been the most severe of any of them.

Thank you for your continued prayers.

Mary

respectfully, i would hold back on venting your emotions towards the daughter. you are upset because Dave is making these decisions, and you are not being heard.

Dave is the one calling the shots here, not his kids. he's the one allowing this situation to continue and escalate, without putting a stop to it.

i will keep praying for God to intervene. you are involved with a dysfunctional family, and that is an emotionally painful situation that is very hard to change. i think only God can change it. when we're trapped in that kind of situation, we turn to God. i'm praying for a miracle, Mary...i'm praying for this to stop.

Funny you should bring that up. It is never far from my mind, and causes me much anguish.
Where do you go when you have no one and nothing?
I can no longer manage living alone in my own apartment.

Anyone with any ideas?

Mary

I have no money, no family. Nowhere to go.
I live with an 89 year old who has kidney failure and whose family hates me and has tried to 'evict' me.
This is called living on a slippery slope, wouldn't you say?
What can I do? Who can help me when/if I no longer have Dave to depend on.
I do love him.

You said in your original post: I am a 76 year old female who has lived with an 89 year old man for over seven years.

I am not an attorney and cannot give you legal advice. I haven't read all 170 responses and someone else may have suggested this.

Does Texas have any laws regarding "common law" wives? The seven years you mention seems like long term to me. Have you ever filed "joint" tax returns? Texas is a community property state. If you file a joint return you are considered legally married and must get a divorce to dissolve this relationship.

I pray that you seek the advice of a competent attorney to exercise your rights.

I will pray for you, and also have an advice. I readed in your first post that the people wanting to evict you are ignoring you and don't want to hear or know anything from you. But what about other people that? Maybe you have a common aquotaince that can talk to them in your behalf if you humbled heartly explain the situtation to this 3rd person, or maybe even a total stranger to them but good person at heart and that can be anyone, I know you must probably know a christian family willing to help those in need, or a pastor, or a priest, or anyone you can think of.

They won't ignore people who come to them without knowing their intentions. They will have to listen at least a few words of what they say, and God's willing, those words may be enough. Please ma'm consider this advice and use any mean you can to look for somebody. If you have trouble leaving your house, then call semeone trustworthy by phone to come over and go you both to somewhere where you can talk privately (don't let his sons to listen to you while you explain your plan)

God bless you and prayers are going your way.

 

[MaryATexasChristian]

I need all your prayers, please. They are at it again..trying to 'evict' me.
God help me.

Somebody must be praying. I feel sort of a sense of pease coming over me.
Please, God, let me be right.
There is another show down today. Please continue to pray for me.

 

[brinny]

Praying that God protects, defends, sustains, strengthens and heals you. Praying He grants you extraordinary wisdom, discernment, and clarity. May He be a Lamp unto your feet and a Light unto your path. Father may it be so, in Jesus name, amen.

Thank you, dear Brinny.

Mary, I just read all yoour posts and I am sorry for all that you have had to endure. Please consider counsel with your physician and/or your minister, the one that brings communion as to your best options for your well-being. Your health and peace of mind are very important. Subjecting yourself to this hostile environment is NOT in your best interests. From all of your postings I am hearing a women who 'feels' trapped, not unlike many unhealthy situations such as yours. You need care yourself and you are not getting this in your present situation. Unfortunately, yours is a common situation for elderly people who co-habit with one another. Take care of yourself, Mary, and please don't limit your options. My aunt and my elderly friend took this advice and are quite happy in their healthier environment. I care. God bless you, Mary.

lindart, thank you for your concern and for your prayers.
If you have read all my posts, then you must know that my options are indeed limited beyond my control- that I have no funds and no where to go. And, most importantly of all, I love Dave and I couldn't bear to be separated from him.
