I really haven't been paying lot of attention to Livejournal or Dreamwidth for some time. Things with my family have been really intense and work hasn't been much better and the last thing I want to do when I finally get home is deal with more people - even nice people who mostly seem to like me and don't expect me to drive them anywhere and don't complain to my supervisor if after being sick for two months, I take antibiotics which give me mild gas problems.
I'm really sorry! I love you all and miss you very much.
Right now, I have little bit of a problem and I am a little too emotional about it to be as sensible as necessary and, since I have never even been married, I don't have the first clue about how to go about it.
I thought I would throw it out there to the wisdom of my friends list because you guys know everything.
Earlier this evening, my brother's wife (the brother who is still relatively healthy for those of you keeping score) announced that she is moving out tomorrow and taking the kids and the bedroom set my mom bought them and leaving him with the house (that is worth less than the mortgage) and all of the unpaid bills she ran up.
He also gets to keep the overdrawn bank account.
He can't afford to hire an attorney and is in too much shock** to think about it right now but, his little sister has been working like a dog and has had precious little time to blow money on crap so she *can* afford to hire one.
I know that some of you have been through this. Do you have any ideas about what to look for? What to avoid?
Let me know.
**He really shouldn't be. We could all see this coming for miles. And told him so. And told him to hire a lawyer that we would pay for.
