[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 507479, member: 84"] Star, I've talked to her about that, and other ways of getting her out of there even if she wanted to hold onto the house. Up until the last phone call yesterday......she was having no part of it. That is why I know it must be awfully bad, because she's finally decided to move. I'll run it past her and see what she thinks. I know it's not always easy to give up your home. Good thing is, her house is in one of the best neighborhoods in the city, which means the most sought after houses in the city, or rather just outside the city. Even in this housing market, she probably won't have much trouble selling it if that is what she wants to do. She might not get what she would have a few years ago, but it's been paid off for more than a decade, so she won't lose anything either. She makes it a point to be very sociable with all her neighbors, all know her very well. All do check on her if they don't see her out and about because she is not a home body. And those with kids, I'm pretty sure have figured out Stormy has some fairly serious issues going on. Most won't allow her in their homes without an adult either, so it's not just Mom. I think Mom went through a lot of stuff when stepdad passed away and got rid of a ton of stuff. As far as any real mementos are concerned, she gave us kids our stuff years ago. The only things she has now are basically what she picked up during her marriage to stepdad.......which isn't a lot as she's not the hoarder he was., She could easily yard sale it all and no one would care much. Pics she has of the grands and great grands, well we all have copies (or I know I do). I still find it ironic that I swore just a few years back on this board I'd never let my mother come live with me............and now I just may do that in order to keep her from being put into a nursing home against her will. lol But then, she's mellowed immensely since then too. I'm trying to coax her to move. I don't care if it's over here (which the family and I would like to see happen) or if it's down with sis in texas (she won't take advantage either). She needs out of that town, regardless of the Stormy situation. Texas sis and I have been trying to talk her into moving for a couple of years now. [/QUOTE]
