Make a detailed inventory of all you did, house work, your contiribution to renovation of HIS home, caring for him and nursing duties, and if his illness was the result of his drinking....make sure that is noted. As for your mental distress, why not ask for some compensation from he who caused so much.
He wants to play rough and tough.....let him find out what realtough means.
God bless
I intend to do just that Jadmack, you are absolutely 100% correct. It's just difficult to figure out
how to do it since I don't have any legal help.
(yes, I've called every single free or reduced rate place around)
This type situation isn't covered in the do it yourself books.
It occurred to me yesterday, this is just a continuance of his manipulations, control, and abuse. He threatened to have me evicted from the home - yet he left me penniless and stranded. He wanted me to leave (cause I wasn't playing his game anymore) - yet he wants me to take care of him permanently.
Maybe I'm wrong and it isn't control, it's just pure insane delusion.
