Sept. 23, 2001, when I was visiting my Dad's cousin, who had always been a big part of my parents lives, told me that my brother had brought my Mother to see her. My Mother told her that she was afraid of me (as she mentioned my name). Mable quickly told her, "I don't want you to say that, again, you know that she (meaning me) loves you and has done alot for you and Buddy." Mother than commented that she was going to change her Will. Mable then told her, "you better not, as people can get in trouble for doing that at her age".
October 11, 2001, It was Mables idea for her and us, girls, to go and take Mother out to eat. We arrived at 9:30 a.m. My brother got very nervous, when he saw that we were coming in the house. Mother was sitting at the table eating her breakfast and visited with us. About 10:30 a.m. she said that she needed to get ready for her hair appt. in Red Oak. We said, that we would take her and then take her out to eat after the hair appt. Then my brother said, do you want them to leave? When Mother didn't reply, my brother said, 'do you want me to call the Sheriff'? Mother said, "NO". He did go in the other room, called Atty Swanson. He came back out and said, 'do you want a restraint order'? My sister went up close to Mother to explain that then she wouldn't be able to see us, again. Mother then said, "I don't want a restraint order"! I went into the bedroom to help Mother get dressed and when we came out and down the hall, to the Living room, there stood Sheriff Tony. The Sheriff asked Mother if she wanted to go with us and Mother said, "YES". My brother had this 'manipulator' outside, waiting in the car to take Mother. Mother ignored both, my brother and the 'manipulator'. When we took Mother back home, she told us, Thank you for taking her and told us, that she loved us. I had no idea that this would be the last time, that I and my sister would be in my parents home.
The next day, both, my sister and I were served with a 'Temporary Writ of Injunction" and we were in disbelief, as to why our Mother would do this to us. Due to the other incidences with our brother and the 'manipulator', we knew that it was NOT our Mother who done this.
October 25, 2001 My sister and I were in Court, to defend this Injunction. Atty Swanson wanted to make this a permanent injunction. In a closed room, was our Atty Millhollin, Atty Swanson and the Judge. Our Atty asked the Judge that my sister and I have Mother on Sundays and that our family have professional counseling BUT Atty Swanson would NOT agree to that. So this was continued, with our Atty asking to do depositions. We were not back in Court until Feb. 14, 2002, on this.
