golf mom, I'm very glad you returned to let us know you are okay. Take all of the time you need to process and grieve. We are and will continue to be here for you.
You are correct when you say that we need to protect our assets. Your suggestions on legal matters is excellent and it's very easy to do research on line if they do not wish to go to a library or law library to do the research. You can't rely on your Mlcers or WAS to do the right thing because their journey is all about themselves.
I hope that you and your family are doing okay. I know that the holidays will be difficult w/your mother passing...but always remember....she is w/you each and every day. You carry her in your heart and soul.
Please take care of yourself and your children.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
