Is your dad alive still?





Who knows?

He left us when I was seven, never to return. He cleaned Mum out of as much as he could get away with without being able to sell the house from under our feet (they had both put in half the value) and he made sure to keep his considerable inheritance out of the country we were liviing in at the time, so we never saw a cent/penny of that. He never got in touch ever again. We know he lived in two countries after he left ours (he had experience and contacts in many countries).

You know the last thing we heard about him years ago, third or even fourth hand? He had written to a friend of his, saying he was quite ill, and suspected he was being poisoned by his girlfriend. What goes around surely comes around.

Back to whether he is dead or alive - when we went to register my mother's death, we hit a problem as we had to state whether she was married or a widow. We said we didn't know. They said we needed to tell them something. I tried to find out whether his *possible* death, which could/could have taken place *anywhere in the world* would be traceable. No such luck, without leads as to his possible last whereabouts. In the end we put down married, as that was the last info that we had.

What more can I say?
