Hi everyone. Ive suffered from depression and anxiety for the better
part of 15 years now, I've been through good and bad patches, and seem
to have found a way of how to deal with it and live with it for the most
part, But I've been through some very bad times since 2008, that was the
year my mother died, without me ever being fully made aware of how ill
she was, my parents didn't want me to worry because they knew of my
illness, they told everybody in my family that I was not to know, but as
a result of not knowing what was going on, I didn't get to spend a lot
of time with her as I live interstate, and when I was made aware of how
sick she was, I rushed home to see her, but before I got there she
became unconscious and passed away the next day, I don't seem to be able
to get over that I wasn't told and should have been there more, my
father then had a severe stroke less than 12 months later, resulting in
him needing to go into care which we did not want to do, he was such an
active man, up at dawn, not inside until dark, and now he was pretty
much permanently inside, which I know he hated, he managed to stay with
us for another six years before another stroke took him from us away in
February last year, I have since found out that my sister, my one and
only sibling who was his power-of-attorney during the last six years
literally drained every cent he had, including selling his home to
herself very cheaply, so when he passed away not only was he broke, he
owed money, I tried to work out things with her before I finally had to
go and seek legal advice, I've now been in a legal battle with her since
March last year, and we actually have all the proof that she has miss
appropriated funds, and done the wrong thing, but because of how the
power of attorney works, I may not be able to get her to have to pay it
back, I feel like this is going to be another thing I have let my
parents down with, And I feel absolutely betrayed that my sister could
do such a thing, my parents estate wasn't worth a fortune, but she made
sure that I was going to get nothing from it, my solicitor has said that
the cost of chasing what is left, would probably be outweighed by how
much it would cost, and it is very close to the stage of where we might
have to Give up, and in my view that means she's won and got away with
it, So how do you live and get on with your life when someone has done
something so blatantly wrong? and you may not be able to do a thing
about it?
How do I talk to my doctor?
