[QUOTE="busywend, post: 298183, member: 391"] I am always the optimist. I like to believe people are good. It does not always turn out that way. I am guessing your family is soooooo very worried about you they felt they had to do something to help. This is about THEM - not YOU. It is selfish of them to take over so they can feel like they are doing something to help you. Tell them you get that they are feeling the need to help out in the only way they can, but that you have supports and people in place to help you. There is no need to rush any changes. You are not out of it. However, what they are proposing may be something to consider in the future. Tell them this. Before getting a lawyer. No need for them to feel a.) you are losing your mind if you hired a lawyer against them - the loving family and b.) they retract their offer of help and when you really need it, it is not there. Just MHO. [/QUOTE]
