Oh, CG. That had to be so hard. And what a logistical nightmare trying to figure all of the estate stuff out. Ugh!
Sorry things did not go well with your sister. I have an oldest sister who is very touchy and gets angry. Many times I have been in public and she has started yelling/cussing at my mom about something. Totally humiliating! Not the same but still, I empathize.
Hopefully things will work out ok with the estate. I hate it when people patronize me/talk down to me!
There have been a number of times in the past couple years when I have come home to an empty house and wished there were someone there to just give me a hug and let me lean on them for awhile...
