Thank you, Morel! Mom was restored~just barely~to guardianship of my father but, as I predicted would happen, the one daughter did not relinquish her conservatorship. Neither one showed up in the courtroom and the judge STILL wanted them to have both jobs anyway. If Dad's state appointed attorney hadn't argued points of law, Mom wouldn't even have won guardianship back.
This judge clearly has issues, as he has ignored psych evaluations, doctor's recommendations, six other siblings and my dad's brother objecting to his decision and giving testimony about the character of and the dereliction of duties of these individuals. We even gave testimony that they admitted to stealing all of mother's possessions and it was ignored.
We will be filing the police report about that as the next step and proceeding from there.
As for me? Hon, people like this do not upset my joyful spirit!
My mother and the rest of my siblings are not used to being or feeling defeated....never had anything go wrong in their lives, always had good incomes, never had to raise their children without a second income or a really great first income, etc. They've had some pretty peachy lives...so this is hard for them to get past. They are angry, they are hurt, they are seriously outraged at the miscarriage of justice.
I've spent a lifetime of losing...one thing after another, relationships, money, cars, etc. I've spent so much time on the ground that I was forced to do a lot of looking up. Getting royally screwed over has been my career...it's old hat to me. I barely even feel it anymore!
When He that is within me is greater than he that is in the world, everything else matters little. I finally got knocked down so many times that I realized I was in the perfect position to pray and so I did. I continue to do so. Nothing anyone on this Earth can do to me can take this relationship away. I've got God and He has me and this is my safety and my refuge. I am loved!
A joyful spirit is something I have in abundance!
