Got the old house new in 1961 just before I turned 2. Sold it and used half the money on a downpayment for this house in 1996. It was built in 1981, but more importantly was about the only house I found you could get around in and from the driveway in the front door in a wheel chair.

My parents spent a lot of my Dad's retirement helping my brother and his wife in Atlanta. Mom pretty much gave them the rest of it after my brother came down with MS and she was helping them. Basically when my Mom ran out of money my brother's wife divorced him. Mom and I took my brother in. With all that they had given to help my brother in Atlanta all we had was my income and my Mom's meager social security to live on. My brother didn't even get social security disabily for several years.

We discovered my brother's ex wife was sucking them dry. She had EVERYTHING in her name because she was afraid his two other exes would get their money. One was taking him to court once a year to make sure he was getting the right child support, which was none thanks to her putting everything in her hame. Mom was helping organize the ex's desk, because the ex asked her, and found some bank receipts showing the ex had well over $100K socked away in a bank account yet was telling Mom they couldn't pay their bills and was about to lose their house. Think their confrontation may have caused the divorce.

When I asked my brother about it he said he can't handle the stress with his MS and just needed to cut and run and forget about it.

A few years later after not hearing from her she called telling him he needed to get involved because she was being audited, was facing some healthy fines, and he was involved and would have to help pay the fines because he was her husband at the time. I heard his side of the phone call and he said...You know. I would really like to help you. but...you put everything in your name making sure that I was in no way legally connected to your financial affairs. So why don't you just use all that money you took from my Mom and Dad. She hung up and we never heard from her again.

She had even set up a company that got paid for my brother's jobs. To "keep the exes from getting it" but is also made him not having an income the entire time they were married.

If I ever come face to face with her it would take all the restraint I could muster to keep from socking her in the face,
