    Thank you Carmel. That is exactly what my husband said, forget the inheritance and go on with my life. The assisted care facility that my daughter put him in is in the territory that we live in, and she expects that I take him to meetings. However, let me add that Dad is age 92, very easily influenced, and forgetful sometimes. I could probably fight it in court on the grounds of undue inflluence. But I don't want to take my own daughter to court so my only recourse is to get over it. It is hard, though, as I am nearing retirement age and will probably have to keep working a long time now.

    My father told me that my daughter believed my husband and I had helped one of her brothers financially when he bought his home. She couldn't believe that he had done so well on his own, and she was ticked that we hadn't helped her out when she was getting a divorce. The truth is we never helped her brother, he made it on his own by being smart which she had not done and now she is trying to catch up. Her husband also insinuated to my father that when I was POA that it looked like I may have used some of Dad's funds to help my husband buy a new truck which he wondered how we could afford since my husband is disabled. I told my Dad that couldn't be further from the truth. My father did admit to me that he might have made a mistake but doesn't want to do anything about it now.

    Dad only goes to the meeting on Sunday because he is very lame, and can't walk, only transfer. He doesn't even expect to go to the other meetings. This morning when I picked him up, he didn't remember what day it was. Guess I could have gotten out of it, but for some reason took him anyway. I might take him to some more meetings, but not every week. I would much rather visit him daily and read to him.

    I just learned that my father gave her his home and sold his rental property for less than 1/2 of the assessed value to my daughter's inlaws without informing any of the rest of the family, including her uncle, brothers, or cousins. She acts like what she did was perfectly OK, and that I shouldn't be upset.

    I'd sue for elder abuse

    Funny - I forgot the primary reason I started this thread. I wanted to know when we start Daniel's Prophecy book. Thought it would be a good one to read to my Dad as he wouldn't understand it anyway. Also it will give me an opportunity to circle all the references to 1919.

    It sounds to me like your dad likes to put people in charge of his crap and then blame them for every little discrepency or insinuate theft when one makes a large purchase. In short, it sounds like he's playing you to see if he can get you to sing and dance to the tune of his inheritance. Screw him. Screw his inheritance. It's not even really yours anyway. No one is entitled to anything of any family member if they choose not to give it to you. People think that inheritance is deserved or owed to the surviving family and it's not. Not even close. He is definitley playing games with you all and I would stop playing along. If he doesn't want you to know what is going on and doesn't want you to do anything for him then stand aside and let him do whatever the hell he wants. He's a big boy and he can reap all the rewards or plagues that comes with the decisions he's made. He's just dangling this lost inheritance in front of you like a carrot to get a rise out of you and to make you feel like he has one up on you. He will only succeed if you play into his hands.

    I do know they are studying the Keep on the Watch brochure right now.
