[QUOTE="hamsterdance, post: 714639, member: 22048"] Update ... Chatted with my mom today. The reason she felt like she had rights over most of the stuff in my sister's room.. is because my sister was basically going around the house and taking things that didn't belong to her and hoarding them. She was taking crystal bowls and things to make offerings and stuff in to the ghosts / angels / demons / etc that she would have conversations with. I guess she figured the fancier the bowl or knick-knack that she made the offering in, then the more likely it would be appeased. She had pictures and stuff around her room that, when taken down, had spells and what-not written on them... like she was warding off evil spirits. But.. getting back to property rights... Sounds like the next couple of days will just be me bringing things out of my sister's room to show my mom to determine what she stole from around the house and hoarded. She had money, but was spending it on knicky-knacky stuff.. she had her own food, but was buying movies, knick-knacks and what-not. I think the issue I'm going to have with my mom is she thinks that things she's given to my sister are now her property again. I don't think you can just turn around and claim something you gifted someone as your own again without the gifted person's say so. So, that's going to be a sticking point for my mom to work through. The aggravating thing about all of this is you have someone that lost track of concepts like "property rights" and such (my sister) and was technically breaking the law by taking things that were not hers or given to her... but now we, the family, have to be very legal and by-the-book in dealing with all of this now. The aggravation arises when you feel like they got a free pass to do whatever they wanted due to a mental illness, but you have to walk on eggshells in cleaning up their mess since you'll be the one facing repuercussions if you don't. So... yeah.... I'm probably preaching to the choir here. I've read other peoples' posts on here and it's like a record put on repeat... you read the same things going on over and over in other peoples lives having to deal with the same kind of stuff. It's just so aggravating, frustrating, etc... they did whatever they did... laws and peoples' feelngs be-damned... but we have to respect their rights and such after the fact. This next week is going to suck. :( [/QUOTE]
