1) Talked to the Executor of my friend's estate. He told me that I did not have to talk to her sons' atty. They can subpeona me and fly out here to take a deposition if they want, but they doubt they will. Supposedly, they are contending that she was sound enough to sign the divorce decree because the atty was 'hand-holding' her, but the Will was more of a secretarial thing and didn't involve the intense attention that the divorce settlement did. (It's not like she left her estate to her dog. She just wrote her sons out of her Will because they had not communicated with her in more than 5 years and refused to even send her pictures of her grandchildren) Now they are pretending to be loyal sons that were so concerned. They've gone through 4 atty's now. Trial is next month. The attys for the estate are supposed to be contacting me and deciding if they will need me to testify to her soundness of mind. Since I've known her for 15 years and been quite close to her, they will evaluate if I can help. (I'd LOVE to be able to 'avenge' her and help keep her final wishes) I just send one of the sons a reply email saying "I think it's best that we not discuss your mother." 2) Today is my mother's birthday. She's always a total pain in the ass about gifts. And since I'm broke, I decided to do something simple. I had some recent pics of me printed and some select shots from the Tom Jones concert. (Total cost of 95 cents plus an unused frame I've had sitting around here for ages). I called her this am. to wish her a happy bday to which she blew me off. I told her that I had something for her and didn't know when we'd be seeing each other. Her response (typical) was "I will not accept anything from you." I told her that I would appreciate it if she would just drop it and work with me. Nope. She had to be a total bitch once again and ruin it. Now my birthday is in 2 months. Last year I told her that if I couldn't get her anything, I wouldn't accept anything from her. To which I was told I was ungrateful and hurtful. Now where's that Klonapin? |

Wow, you are in a no win situation with that lady. I'm so sorry this has to hurt!

can I borrow a few of those for this upcoming week? ;)
she sounds like a very proud and self-absorbed woman. i'm glad you didn't go that direction yourself.

we always think that the ideal family member/friend/collegue is better than the reality. I've finally accepted that there are some people in my family and my extended family that are total pains in the butt and since there is nothing I can do to change the situation, I might as well accept them. I have a relative who is like your mom when it comes to gifts, so the last time there was a contretemps abut a gift and she refused it, I just put it back in my bag and said "OK, I can respect that" did her jaw drop!! I've found that by agreeing with these folks, I can drive them crazy!! try it! it's empowering!
