Årets sista dag!
Jag har bakat bullar!!!! Precis såna som jag brukade baka förr i tiden.... en plåt saffransbullar.. en fläta och en längd fylld med kanel, smör, socker och mald mandel..
Jaha! Vaddåra!! säger någon!!
Men då vet ni inte att jag inte bakat mina bullar sedan vi kom hit 1993... nej, nu ljuger jag! jag har faktiskt gjort det en gång.. men resultatet var så nedslående att jag helt tappade sugen..
Men nu är det gjort!
Tack kära nya spis!!!
Plus att det idag var mulet och litet regnigt.. och inte så himla hett!!
Nu ska jag ta en fika och en saffransbulle! Mums!

The reason for Court-hearings:

On Sunday the 5th of November my sister in law, came to our home in Country Club and started her usual harassment of us, i.e she made clear that she was not to leave until she had said all she wanted to say. She did not stay in the garage or outside the gate as she had done the last times but parked herself in one of the chairs. My husband told her that he had to work
with the warning cards for his students and that this was not a good time for him and asked her to 'please' leave. She got very agitated and began to throw a lot of insults and bad words about us and our marriage. When she called me a whore my husband had heard enough and said that if she did not leave he was going to call the police. She just laughed. And it only led to more provocations and she said that she was not going to leave HER house!

We were already so tired of her manipulations and demands. All done in a very malicious way, the same behaviour since she came back after her boyfriend´s death (not husband as she said before the Judge at the hearing) The same as she and her daughter have done for so long now, calling us and arguing. Disturbing our peace and minds. Very much upsetting Doña Ana.
Calling and calling even if we hang up on them. It was getting even worse some time ago when my husband asked for them to start discussing the inheritance after their father. For years we have been called parasites and worse. We were fed up with their (hers and her daughters)constant harassments, always causing tensions and quarrels. Also that it caused a lot of pain to Doña Ana. The house we call our home since 1993, and own by my husbands parents, has been considered his. Meaning that it was to be his with properly ownership (some day). He needed this considering we all get old, and of bad health and because we have put a lot of money in it, by repairs and rebuilding and also because it will be necessary to get som help from outside with the care-taking of his mother when we don't have the strength to do it. Then my husband suggested that one of the properties (3) could be sold in order to finance such a help (a nurse). We have been forced to take heavy loans to finance the work and reinforcement of the house and our economy has suffered a great deal. We can not afford it without help. The only help so far has been small amount of his mother's monthly pension checks. To help with utility-bills and food. Her social security check has never been touched. Not even for a loan that he needed and asked from her for the repairs of our old car which is in very bad shape and much needed also for transports to hospitals, or pharmacy. His mother refused, when he asked her to help.One day he went with her to the bank and realised that his mother had $52.000 in her account. Difficult for him to understand that she did not want to help. Money that now is gone, because his sister has emptied the account! We even had to help them with financing (another loan) the repairs of his mother's house. Resulting in that I could not travel to my mothers funeral in Sweden and be with my children, grandchildren, relatives and friends in this very sad moment.
There was no more money!!
My sister in law did not want to discuss anything, except her concerns with this of
taking care of their mother..and the repairs of the house in Castellana, which she was going to live in (for free) after she has been thrown out from her apartment in Santurce. The care of their mother she always said was HIS responsibility, because she herself can not.. she is an invalid a.s.o... Not considering that my husband has a hard tough job as a teacher in a public Highschool and also take courses at the U.P.R (demands by The Dep. of Education for being able to keep his work). Finally he did not see any other way than to ask for legal help. With the result that she called the Lawyer and insulted him.. now she is calling our Lawyer's work a
harassment!!! She still refuses to do anything regarding this.

Well, this Sunday my husband called the police (to her big surprise) and when they arrived she continued with her insults and twisted accusations - telling the police very private and intimate details of our marriage, fabricated lies and accused me (in front of them) of stealing money from her mother's purse. Without proofs, without any respect and with all her malice. Without any concern of me being in mourning after my mother's death. Naturally I reacted and I said that she was lying. When asked by the police if we wanted to "file charges" of "Disturbing the Peace" - My husband declined. He said no. Only of consideration to his mother. He thought it would be too painful for her. He just needed their help to make her leave! Who, even when forced by the police to get out, stayed in the garage and outside the gate and chatted with one of the police -
men, still throwing insults to me calling me, among other things, "Bitch"! I was told that I could file charges for "Mala Lengua" or calumniation. I wrote my name in the Policeman's notebook. Later we found out that these two policemen had taken her side and were against us. (?)

Later that day,(the 5th) or directly after, My sister in law filed charges against us.. Accusing us of maltreatment of her mother and much, much more in a very "special writing". 3 full pages
Irate, confusing and ALL just lies and fabrications.

Even in front of the judge at the following hearing, the 10th of November, she continued to accuse us of doing bad things, maltreatment and she was telling lies even though she was sworn in, details from my marriage, completely out of context and not true. All a sad result of a very sick, frustrated and bitter woman's guilt feelings and maybe because of not getting the respect that she demands... as Doctora . A woman who has a record, of many visits to courtsessions and hearings and once was arrested by the police in USA and put under arrest after violant threats towards her Ex-husband and the police. Not allowed to travel out of the jurisdiction for a year.
She is a violant person, with a drug problem and I am sorry to say that I have reasons to feel unsafe with her as my enemy.

Nytt Domstolsförhör

dag var det nytt förhör i Carolinas Domstol. Det gick bra! För oss. Men troligen inte för A-M som blev utslängd av tre marshals.
Det första domaren sa var att varna oss för att störa proceduren i rättssalen. Dvs vi skulle hålla tyst när domaren pratade osv..
Advokaten från "Byrån för de äldre (!)" hade tagit med sig sin chef..Alberto berättade för mig tidigare att dom hade insett hur problematisk A-M är och att dom skrivit en begäran om att A-M skulle genomgå en test för dom tror att hon är psykiskt störd.
Men för att börja från början. När jag kom in i väntsalen såg jag att A-M och farmor inte kommit.. inte heller vår advokat.. så jag gick
fram och hälsade på advokaten och hennes chef. Dom var artiga och vänliga.. (gott tecken!) - efter en stund kom Fidel vår advokat och Alberto som parkerat bilen. Jag började undra om A-M verkligen skulle dyka upp.. Alberto berättade om vad han hört.. dvs att
"äldrebyrån" tvivlade på att A-M var lämplig att ta hand om farmor. Fidel såg glad ut.. (gott tecken) Sen anlände A-M med farmor.
Hon hade ett fast grepp om farmors arm och mer eller mindre släpade fram henne till bänken där damerna fr "åldringsvården" satt
och dessa reste sig och flyttade till bänkraden bakom oss. Spänt läge! A-M viftade med ettpapper och kom fram till damerna
och började prata.. men blev avvisad och satte sig bredvid farmor och började rota i sina väskor.. hon tog fram en tvåliters vattenflaska och den ena medicinburken efter den andra.. Vilken uppvisning! Hon petade i sig piller efter piller från olika burkar och svalde ner med vatten från flaskan.. (se hur sjuk jag är!!!) Jag trodde att hon var smart!! Detta var bland det dummaste hon gjort.. Behövdes inte
ytterligare bevis för hur beroende hon är av "droger" - Detta beteende kommenterades senare inför domaren av "chefen" för "äldrevården"
Dvs efter att AM hade åkt ut..
Flera ggr försökte AM avbryta domaren. trots varningen- och domaren varnade henne igen.. Sen bad hon om att få yttra sig.. och domaren varnade henne för att ta upp sånt som inte var relevant för det här förhöret.. utan att bli åtlydd.. AM satte naturligtvis igång med hela sin litania.. om maltreatment (som ju redan avskrivits) och annat.. om hur hennes bror avgudar sin fru och inte bryr sig om något annat... ser inte hur djävlig jag är... osv.. och massor av annat skitsnack... Bla anklagade hon deras egen (farmors) advokat för "vekhet" - dvs hon hade "svalt" det jag sa när jag fick mitt "utbrott" och tycks såå synd om mig och fallit för mina tårar. Så hon fick kläcka ur sig sina elakheter och verkligen visa upp sig i sitt mentala tillstånd.. till sist hade hon eldat upp sig så till den grad att alla började fatta hur det skulle sluta,, men ingen stoppade henne.. Fidel hade sagt oss att det bästa för oss var att låta henne hållas... ända tills han (Fidel) gick ut och hämtade "marshallerna" -- två herrar och en dam kom in.. domaren varnade AM.. som flipprade ut helt och alla försökte lugna henne... till sist tog dom ut henne.. och farmor följde efter.. "Jag ska gå med Ana Maria!!!" Damerna försökte få henne att stanna... men hon lyssnade inte.

Och förhöret fortsatte utan A-M och farmor...
Våran Fidel bad domaren om ursäkt för mitt "utbrott" under det förra förhöret , vilket accepterades.. den fortsatta diskussionen ledde till att alla var överens om att både farmor och Ana -Maria måste utredas.. Farmor - om hon har Alzheimers - som AM hävdar..
och AM om hon är "riktig i huvudet"...
För vad ska hända med farmor? Vem ska ha "vårdnaden" om henne? Var ska hon bo??
Det får vi se!!!
Inget lär hända nu på ett tag! Nu har "åldringsvården" hand om det hela.
Phu!!
