Well as predicted in 2001 when my Grandparents asked us if they could move to Texas with us, the drama has begun!
My mother had planned on funding her retirement with their home in Massachusetts, so after my grandfathers passing in October 2001, when my grandmother decided to sell it, her plans were thwarted. Of course in the world of my mother, it is my fault as is everythng wrong with her life.
Now she has dilusions as to the extent of the estate left behind and has actually contacted an attorney here in San Antonio to sue for her inheritance. Lucky for me, the attorney will not proceed unless a $5,000 retainer is paid and everyone knows my mother never has a pot to piss in.
She's been harassing me for my grandmothers ashes. I don't know why. The last time she saw my grandfather she told him she never wanted to see him again unless it was in his coffin. She hadn't seen her mother since 2000 and when she did bother to speak to her on the phone she spent the whole time yelling at her and insulting her until my grandmother was hysterical and needed to be sedated by her nurse.
My grandmother wished for her ashes to buried in my Grandparents plot on their wedding anniversary June 5, 2009. I don't think Jerry and I are going to be able to make the trip, so in part due to that and secondly to stop the phone call and email harassment by my mother, I am going to forward her ashes and burial instructions to my mother. I hope I am not making a huge mistake.
