Realtors, Lawyers and Libraries...

I'm in the process of buying a house. I've never been through the process before, I find it sticky with red tape and a slippery slope at the same time. I lack the ability to obtain a bank loan, so I'm purchasing on a land contract. One year of rent, to house I and my son, has cost me $6,000 dollars. I'm feeling blessed to be able to purchase a home. Renting is like throwing money into a huge black hole. Being tied to a monthly mortgage payment yields home ownership at the end. I'm feeling excited and frightened of this huge commitment.

At this same chaotic time, I found out that my sister reverse mortgaged the family home. She's Power of Attorney for my Dad. Her verbal, emotional and financial abuse of my Dad has been on-going for decades. I have reported this to Adult Protective Services many times, to no avail. Unfortunately, they are over-run with cases and much like Dept of Children's Services, if basic needs are being met, it's not emergent in response. I've been told to seek legal counsel, so I have. She reverse mortgaged because she knows the court recorded, Last Will and Testament, states half of the worth of the family home is due to me. She didn't think i would find out about all this until after my Dad had passed away.

When I spoke to Dad about this, his initial response was, "Yes, she reverse mortgaged it but you still inherit half the house." Now, my sister has fed him this line, "The newspaper printed the wrong address. That company bought a house down the street." The information of the sale of the house is public record at the Delaware County Recorder's office. My sister, has my Dad brainwashed and misinformed. It's all abuse of an elder and I have proof of her misconduct this time. My Dad's house was paid off. She collects my Dad's social security check, her husband's 60 hour a week pay check and her own disability check and still felt the need for more money. She frequently holds my Dad "hostage," refusing to let me visit. On the phone last night he asked, "Can I go out with Amy?" She nastily replied, "We will talk about it, Later." In the past, I've turned the other cheek, regarding my sister. She thinks I'm going to turn a blind eye to this, because that's my historical pattern when bullied by big sis. I'm finally standing up to her. It's nice to have proof of her debauchery. Can't wait to speak to an attorney...

So I'm giving these situations to God. I feel better, because I written words to express my emotional frustrations. I've done everything I can do in both situations. So now, the outcomes are out of my control. Things I can't control, but would drive me crazy if I tried to control, I give to God. I pray about it and leave the worry there. My will would be to see my sister hang naked on a flag pole, close to an ant hill while covered in honey. So that's why I have to pray for God's will... so I won't worry myself to death or go to jail, lol!

I read an article that said synchronicity's are the universe's way of saying you're on the right path. I love those. Today, my breakfast came to $3.33. When I arrived at the library, 3 beautiful large birds were dancing in the sky beside a bright, day moon. Today is a good day, I spoke to a realtor, a lawyer and my Higher Power... at the library!
