Darling Hops-
I am a lowly student, and know nothing, am only speaking from my experience as an intended victim of court abuse. Hoppy please don't be disconcerted, I am just giving you my ideas of what might be helpful, but only you know best what to do ,of course. I was simply trying to suggest that you can prepare things in a peaceful and low stress time and a way that might give you help in case anything should happen to your mother. That way, you can concentrate on what you need to handle and taking care of yourself if problems do arise, wonderful Hops. This can make your interactions with your brother less stressful, as you will know that you are prepared for any eventuality.
Please don't stress- I didn't mean to push, just to give a hint as to what might help make things easier and smoother for you if you get it ready beforehand-If you think it might be useful, the journal should be completed at your leisure bit by bit, and the letter refutation whenever you have a chance - it is just that getting this cohesive narrative done before you need it could help so much in case of a conflict- not just a random pile of docs, but a well-thought out narrative with copies of the docs attached and referred to in proper order as they relate to the narrative, can often settle things quickly. This takes time, thought and rumination- no need to set the whole deal up now if you think it might be useful- Start with the letter you have concerns about, read it and do what refutation you can. More will come to you as time goes on.
Then you have a basis for the rest. Add the will- make a copy and attach it, and write about what happened, the name of the caretaker driving, etc. Then add whatever else comes to mind with a copy attached and an addition to the narrative. A tiny bit a day will add up to being a masterpiece!
If these ravings of a madwoman that I have posted stress or discomfit you, please trash them Dear- My concern is you and your wellbeing!!!!! You know best.
Love,
Changing
