I don't do funerals

Sounds like a crazy situation for you, but i suppose at the end of the day, it'll happen however. If i were you, i'd go ito selfish mode and forget about what the right thing is to do and do what you want, if legal rights and whatever stop you, well, you tried your best.

I got a phone call last night from the lady who is my father's power of attorney (she's the one sending me my grandfathers watch) she told me that over the past 5 years my father has been essentially getting rid of anything that might be connected to my brother or myself to anyone who wants it and trashing everything else (photographs of us kids etc) She said she was trying to set aside/hide some things hoping he will forget about them. She also found the bag of coins that were given to me every xmas by my grandparents and the coins my mother collected when we traveled in north africa/europe and she had managed to hide the troll dolls my mother collected in the '50's in northern europe. The specifics of the legalities from the power of attorney deny my brother and myself any legal rights regarding my parents (fathers) estate etc. the only answers are that there are no answers. My father has spend his life creating the situation that exists today. My mother is experiencing end stage alzhimers (fortunately for her sake)

Sorry that your having a tough time with family at the moment.
Since my sister died, my mum has removed the photo's of me and my other siblings from her purse and replaced them with ones of my sister, and on several occasions demanded to my dad that "The only daughter i want is dead", which is lovely of her. I've never got on amazingly well with her but she's gotton to the point almost denying she has other children. She then gets annoyed when my brother cries that she doesnt want him anymore.

Then again, a week or so doesnt compare to 5 years and I know thats not really the same thing but i just wanted to say i know how, well, annoying it is when a parent decides they don't want anything to do with you anymore.

Family are the people that love you, regardless of blood, and there are some here who consider you family

Sometimes there is no explaining what is going on; he is what he is. This is something you obviously have no control over.

If you're hurt by all this, I'm sorry. If you're not, I applaud you.

Family are the people that love you, regardless of blood, and there are some here who consider you family, so there.
