Turmoil

Some of you who have been reading for a long time may remember that back in January I discovered that Unauthorized Borrower had been taking advantage of Dad financially. Dad rewrote his will, forgiving the loans he had given UB. We also told UB that credit counseling was a necessity. UB has been "too busy" to get the counseling. The stress is off UB, and we fear that UB is not doing the necessary things to get the finances in order.
.
Dad has decided to be generous lately. He has given several gifts of money to his kids. The first was just because, and the second was to help us go on vacation. Far Away Sister, who is the keeper of the money, suggested to Dad that he tell UB that the vacation money was contingent on beginning credit counseling. UB's Spouse has expressed displeasure at this condition. We suspect Spouse doesn't understand that Dad generously decided not to send UB to jail for theft. We suspect Spouse doesn't know how much money was involved.
.
Dad listened to Spouse express disapproval of the conditions on the money. Dad is now hurt, and angry. Dad was discharged from the hospital today and moved into the new assisted living facility. Dad really didn't want UB around.
.
I hope and pray that UB will get their financial life in order, and recognize how generous Dad has been. I hope Dad will live long enough to see UB do those things. I fear that there are breaks taking place in the family now that will be hard to heal. That grieves me.

I would recommend telling spouse of Ub the facts. She needs to make a decision to protect her family ad assets from UB. She has a right to know. IMHO, Owl

Far Away Sister informed Spouse that there was information lacking. I informed UB that Spouse needed to be fully informed.
