[QUOTE="klmno, post: 339093, member: 3699"] LOL! I don't think she has any cronies down there- she used to have a few middle-aged people helping her, and she would pay them, but I think they got tired of trying to cater to her every "need" and figured out she might not be due all the sympathy she tries to get since she brought so much of it on herself so they are not coming around anymore. She doesn't want to move because she "wants to keep her independence", doesn't want to lose money on the house, and doesn't want to give up living in this really nice, big house. Well, as far as I'm concerned it's like she told me when I got married and my husband became physically abusive toward me- "you made your bed, you lie in it, and if you don't want to stay then since you got yourself into it, you can get yourself out of it". I was 17- she's plenty old enough to make her independent decisions on her own. Yet I swear, I'm the one who gets accused of being controlling- you should hear how much she tries to tell me what to do and how to do it.
