[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 507456, member: 1233"] in my opinion it is time to get your mom a video surveillance system installed in her home when bro and Stormy are not around to know, then to get PROOF that Stormy is this disturbed. Proof on video will go a LONG way to proving to others that your mom isn't nuts. Your mom's dr and atty both need to be able to state that she is NOT a danger to herself or others and that she IS able to care for herself. Usually the court will not go against the dr and atty if there is even on family member on the side of the older person. That would be you. You need to ask the atty what needs to be done to PROVE that your mom is able to handle her own affairs. You also need some proof of how disturbed Stormy is. in my opinion Stormy was about to have someone shove proof of her problems in Daddy's face and she did this to create a smoke screen. Bro and Stormy very well may try to prove your mom is incompetent as that move-out dates comes close or if she follows through on it. So SHE needs to start collecting ammunition to prove that Bro is neglecting Stormy's needs and is not getting the therapy she needs and that Stormy is out of control. The BEST way to fight this is to prove that BRO is incompetent as a parent (and refusing to get therapy for a severely abused/neglected child IS neglect and incompetent parenting period end of discussion at least in my book) and that Stormy is so disturbed that she needs major help and is capable of manipulating enough to set this whole mess up. Also, what is the chance that STORMY is hallucinating? Not so much lying as that she actually saw a car there or thought that Gma ran into a ditch? I am NOT saying she isn't manipulative or that she couldn't have done this all as manipulation, but I am wondering if there is any schizophrenia/hallucinating going on in HER mind? I also would start to contact your mom's neighbors and ask them to keep an eye out and if they would be willing to testify that your mom is fine to live alone, is not incompetent, etc..... They may carry some weight, esp if your other sibs spend very little time with your mom. I am sorry this is all such a big mess. It really sounds like your bro is using his kids' problems to justify gaining full control over your mother's assets. Of course he doesn't want to RENT the house. HE would have to PAY rent then. If he gets control of her assets, he can lock her up or ship her out or do whateveer and spend all the $$ LONG before any audit would catch problems.
