I have just learned that my son has used me to the point of bankruptcy; I would have given him my last nickel; and guess what!! I did. Now that I am penniless, I have outlived my usefulness. For the past week I have been sleeping in his children's playroom; I h what I have not eaten anything aside from what few things I had with me. I have left, he has been telling me were in a storage locker, which I have never been to. This morning I learned (by climbing into his attic), that many of my things are up there. I have been verbally abused beyond belief. I brought a few items down, just for him to know that I'm not as stupid as he believes. I know he will go into another rage when he realizes this. Kindly advise what I should do at this point. Desperate, 76 year old widowed grandmother. A review of his bank account for the past 10 yrs. will verify the funds that I have extended to him. Thanking you in advance, I am Ann W.
The other possibility is that you are correct. How did you find out BTW? If you really have been and are being abused, GO TO THE POLICE NOW BEFORE HE DOES SOMETHING WORSE. If you can't tell the difference and decide to call the police and you are wrong, it will probably be obvious to them and they will try to explain to you and help your son stay calm about it. If you are right, they will probably get you to a care facility where you will have enough food and a regular bed to sleep in.
As to "What should I do?" I'd get hold of the Council on Aging and have a conversation with a social worker. Believe me, it won't be their first rodeo.
Make a new will and put in it the direction that it "cancels and supercedes all previous wills."
As tro his theft of your belongings, contact the police and a pro-bono lawyer. Seek help from State Afing Agency. ASAP
That takes care of old wills Make sure it is kept by someone you trust completely.
