My grandmother fell a few months ago and broke a lot of stuff you are not supposed to break. Came close to dying. My mother flew down to Florida to be with he nearly 24/7 for weeks to make sure she was alright and would recover. (The hospital was not doing a great job on its own.)
Then they talk about the future. It is decided that she can no longer live alone, isolated from her family in Florida (my grandfater died a few years ago). Then the house across the street from us goes on sale. Our neighbor is a registered nurse and says she will look after my grandmother when we need to leave. My mom and dad would look after her the rest of the time. It was perfect. She was going to move where she could be taken care of.
My mom is exhausted. Enter my uncle. He says to go back to New Orleans and he would take care of all the lawyer and bank stuff for us.
To make a long story short: My uncle canceled the deal to buy the house. He has gotten my grandmother's entire estate under his name. He has convinced my grandmother that we were just trying to get her to New Orleans to take all her money. He is taking all the furnature, etc. including stuff specifically willed to us. (The only thing I wanted was a wall clock by grandfather handmade. My grandmother called me today sounding like a robot to tell me that I could not have it because someone else wanted it, but she could not remember who that person was. She is brainwashed.) And finally, my uncle has arranged for her to be put into a nursing home in Florida. My mom has seen this place. It is a morgue. People just go there to die. He is arraging for her not to live long. As soon as everything is locked up, he will be going back to California and will probably never be back.
I think this started because he does not want to be bothered to take care of his mother in her old age. But my mom's willingness to do so made him feel guilty. So now he has ensured that no one will take care of her, so he won't feel bad. After heading that evil and selfish road, greed set in. Now he is ensuring that the entire estate will go to him.
This is taring my mom apart. I have never seen this upset before. She is in really bad shape. She basically feels like her mother is being killed in front of her and she can do nothing about it because her brother is so powerful and dominating.
I don't know what to do about this. The path is not clear at this point. I would appreciate the prayers of any of you religious folk. This is killing my mother and grandmother.
