I now officially have the guardianship of my aunt...
I just wanted to let you that today, I went to court, along with my parents', my sis, my dh and my cousin, for the guardianship of my handicapped aunt.
We have been waiting 2 and half years for this day. My sis and cousin are part of the small family council, with me.
Now, our family has peace of mind for Francine's security, health and happiness. No one will ever abuse of her or her possessions, ever again...We will make sure of that. I have a close eye on her, even she doesn't live in my home, anymore. She lives close enough and I see her once to twice a week, and speak to her fostercare giver more than that...
That is so wonderful Lucie! She couldn't have a more kind loving person to care about her well being than you.

Awww...thanks Robin, Amy and Debbie. You're too kind!
I am more reassured now, knowing I can decide what's best for her and having the support from my family...
Lucie!
I'm so glad that you were able to get guardianship of your aunt. I know that she is in good and loving hands with you and will be well looked after. Your truely are an .
I am glad it is working out well. I thought at first when i read your post that you had to fight your family for guardianship. So glad I misread it! I am happy you have support on this.

Thanks everyone... You're too kind. Stop, you're making me blush...
Melody, yes, maybe my post could have been misinterpreted, but actually it was a formality to go to court, because Francine was under the guardianship of the governement since she was a teenager...So there was no fighting for who cares for Francine. My whole family are relieved and happy that I will make sure of her well-being and happiness. My parents are too ill, my sister works full time. Since I am not working and always been a big part of her life, I was designated her guardian.
Teddymaker... She has not been in an abusive home for over 15 years, but when she she was in a fosterhome, 5 years ago, even if the woman caring for her was very good to her, mysteriously, Francine had no money in the bank, no nice clothes, bad haircuts, ugly and cheap eye glasses, no real material possessions...That's what I NEVER want for her. I feel that is abusing someone, to take all her money.
Since 5 years, since she has been with my parents and myself, she has money in the bank, 600$ prescription glasses adapted for her, a tv, video, rocking chair, nice clothes...she goes to the hairdresser every 2 months for color and cut, etc...goes out to movies, restaurants, has plenty of social activiies with other handicapped people, etc...
All we want is her to be happy like any other human being deserves to be happy...That's why I say I'll make sure no one takes away what belongs to her and never abuse her again...
Thanks everyone for listening to me about my aunt. It's comforting for me to share with you.
Lucie this is a wonderful thing. I'm happy for all of you but most especially your aunt.
