Thanks. I survived. The estate is closed. The house is sold. The worst was when he was sick and I didn’t have power of attorney to do anything and my dad’s friend went into the house and shredded all of his papers.

If you’re a women you become the administratrix.

While you’re at it set up a power of attorney and medical directives. My dad left a mess. He was in the hospital for about 9 months before he died with no power of attorney.

Why won’t you tolerate my intolerance?

I was married at 18 and divorced at 41. I really regret wasting my youth, denying myself the experience of dating, and not focusing on myself and what I wanted to do.
