I live in "the sunshine state", a haven in the winter, a land of beautiful beaches and summer fun, the home of Mickey Mouse. I love this state. It is my home, but it has its own dark and ugly shadows. In the ninth district court system covering cases for family law, there is a scheme to defraud families of their money and their rights, and it is totally sanctioned. Every facet in elder care is involved either by complicity or by deliberate head turning, advocates, long term care facilities, guardians, lawyers and at the top, judges. What keeps this dysfunctional system alive? Dysfunctional families, resentment, jealously, the love of money, and in our case add to that mix, a mother who has lived two lives, one for her absent daughters, and one for her ever present, hard working son. Her divided family believes two different stories. Each story is forever frozen in time since her legal rights have been stripped due to a forced incompetency test and subsequent guardianship by the state of Florida. No one hears her any more, except her son whose hands are bound behind his back. They were perfect targets for this Florida justice system that is allowed to do all of its deeds in secret.
Even with signed documentation by his mom for everything he has done and a Trust document that states his parents are never to become the ward of any guardian, the state of Florida, with unfounded charges of abuse and cries of"undue influence", snatched away all assets and control from my mother-in- law and my husband. With the help and lies of an elder care "advocate" and sisters pushing for seven and a half years a case against a brother they have storied into a monster, for reasons they believe to be true, our lives are in a troubling limbo, and my husband is treated by the state as if he were a thief and a villain. My sister-in-laws readily jumped into a sanctioned bilking system thinking they have finally rescued their mom from their "wicked" brother, when, in fact, the state of Florida is gleefully spending their inheritance, and their brother's years of hard work and dedication is being obliterated.
My husband and I need your prayers and positive thoughts as we traverse this temporary obstacle in our lives. Pray not just that we survive the ordeal, but that we will thrive and overcome. My husband has always been a good and dutiful son. My Mother-in-law needs your prayers for peace and comfort in her physical and mental decline. Her games are over, and she is just a sad, old dying woman who needs love. My sister-in-laws need prayers, too. They, too, are victims of this state and a dysfunctional family, living a life on the stage of comparisons. Unknowingly, they believe their stories whole heartily and the stories their mom shared with them. I am not sure the relationship between brother and sisters will be salvageable, but I am sure that God's grace will guide us through, and we will come out on higher ground, and as a warning to families far and wide, come to terms with your disagreements, and don't ever think that the courts are the answer.
Peace. Love, Linda
