Diana,
Here's the short version of my story...
My stepfather died ten months ago. Since then our family dynamics have been
so out of control I have severed ties with my three half siblings who have
taken over my mother's life. They are helping her prepare her will and have
her funeral arrangements all prearranged. Basically, they are killing her
with grief.
Her husband had protected her from her children's selfishness when he was
alive and now without that protection, she has given in to their selfish
desires. They have moved into her house and already act as if she is dead
and the house is theirs! This is hard to watch which is why I cannot take
part in it. She has always been a "codependent" type who is easily
manipulated by her selfish children. Their lack of respect is nauseating.
Many of her belongings have already been given to these adult children. They
have persuaded her to write down who she wants to have the rest ... as if she
is dying or already dead!
I cannot bear to watch them kill her. When I do speak to her long distance,
the topic is her death and who gets what! It's very sad.
