ALOHA. I'M NEW (WELL REALLY I'M OLD, JUST NEW TO THIS SITE.) I CAN JUST BARELY COPE WITH MY MAC FIRST COMPUTER OF MY OWN, I USED ONE AT WORK BEFORE I RETIRED. I'VE HAD BAD ARTHRITIS FOR DECADES AND HAVE HAD LOTS OF FALLS AS A RESULT. THE LAST ONE BROKE MY HIP AND LANDED ME IN A WHEELCHAIR. I'M HAVING TROUBLE COPING WITH THIS MOST RECENT ESCALATION OF MY ROCKY HEALTH. MY MOTHER LEFT ME A MODEST TRUST FUND AND THIS HAS SCREWED UP MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY SIBLINGS AND ESP. MY BROTHER, HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER. MY NEICE IS BOTH TRUSTEE OF MY TRUST FUND AND A RESIDUAL BENEFICIARY. SHE'S STINGY WITH ME, AND SPENDING A LOT ON HERSELF - TRIPS FOR HER & HER 2 KIDS, $500 TO A SPA, ETC. I THINK ENOUGH PEOPLE, MEDICAL AND FINANCIAL, ARE AWARE AND DUTY BOUND TO REPORT THIS TO THE STATE ELDER FINANCIAL ABUSE DEPT THAT SOON THINGS WILL GET WAY WORSE BETWEEN MY BROTHER'S LITTLE FAMILY AND ME. THIS IS ESPECIALLY SAD SINCE BY BROTHER, CARL, AND I USED TO BE SUPER CLOSE, HIS WIFE & I WERE CLOSER THAN MY BLOOD SISTER & I AND MY NEICE...WELL IT'S ALL WRECKED NOW AND, AS I SAY, SOON TO GET WORSE. MY BEST FRIENDS HAVE ALL MOVED TO THE MAINLAND IN RECENT YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO COMPLETELY ALONE. I'VE ALWAYS BEEN RECLUSIVE BUT STILL I HAD FRIENDS AND FAMILY. NOW MY FAMILY JUST WANTS ME DEAD AND GONE SO THEY CAN HAVE THE REST OF THE MONEY (IT'S MINE FOR MY LIFETIME. THE ESTATE ATTY SAYS HE HOPES I SPEND THE LAST DIME WITH MY LAST BREATH!) AND MY FRIENDS GET UPSET WHEN WE TALK ON THE PHONE BECAUSE THEY'RE TOO FAR WAY TO HELP MUCH. I FIND MYSELF RELUCTANT TO CALL THEM SINCE I ONLY UPSET THEM.. OH WELL, THERE'S ALWAYS MY 19 YEAR OLD CAT, BUT AT HER GREAT ADVANCED AGE I'LL HEVE THAT LAST LOSS TO COPE WITH ONE DAY. SO, AS THEY USED TO SAY, I'M BLUE. SO, WHAT AN INTRO, AS MY EMAIL SO ACURATELY PUTS IT I'M JUST AN OLD HIPPY IN A WHEELCHAIR AND BLUE TOO.
