excellent... my mum and dad's fiance are fighting...

they found a blood clot in my dad's arm

in case you couldn't tell that excellent was sarcastic..

they are fighting because of money, they have both been told conflicting things by dad's work and it is causing emotions to become very high. my mum is a very emotional person, she uses her heart not her head.. we need our school fees paid and according to rose (dad's fiance), all of his accounts etc are frozen and she doesnt have access to them. she also thinks that his salary is going to dry up in 2 and a half months.

my mum's side of the story is that he is going to keep having a salary for 2 years because of a disability clause in his contract, but i think this comes out of his super, so rose doesnt want to touch it. also, mum believes that rose can access dads account she just doesnt want to..

it just escalated into a personal attack on each other and all that other crap. i tried to explain to them that its not the best time to be arguing, but... sigh.

also, there's a blood clot in dad's arm, which means he'll have to be put on blood thinning medication, but that could cause bleeding in his brain again. everything's just gone sh*thouse at the moment im just wondering even though they both say 'the children are the first priority', do they really mean it? because at the moment it doesnt seem like it...

its just another thing to add to the pile i suppose.

adults... puhh :yeahrite:

i told them that its not something that should have emotion involved because it makes things worse. they need to find out the facts and then sort it out because at the moment it's very hazy.

Adults have the same emotional problems as teens do but try harder not to show it. Money is a very emotional issue as it determines how we all live. You may find that with two families to support on a disability payment there is not as much to go around and that you do have to go back to the local school or make other economies in the household budget.

 

Your Dad's health I should think is the first priority. Then the welfare of the families. Your Mum could go to the local courthouse and speak to someone there to find out where she stands with future payments and Centrelink could give her some help too. It is true that a stroke doesn't just affect one part of your life, it affects relationships, lifestyle and so many aspects of just day-to-day living.

 

Is there someone else you could turn to for advice, like a school counsellor, or someone at your local neighbourhood centre? At the hospital there are social workers who deal with stroke patients and their families all the time. And as a family member you would be entitle to their help in interpreting just what is going on with medical matters right now.

 

You really are so supportive of your Mum. There is another virtual hug coming your way. :friends:

You need a good lawyer to settle this - unfortunately, as money is not # 1 when it comes to health care, itis

Good Luck & keep me posted
