Ginnie, your story is all to sad but real in this world of greed. I also have no legal knowledge of this situation, but wonder why your son cannot try to help you a bit more? If you are "required" to pay him rent for the taxes and he knows you are broke, can't he kick back some of the $$ to you so you can live? I am not trying to sound mean, but it sounds as if you are at the breaking point and stress makes the illness and pain worse.

There has to be some legal way to get the courts to acknowledge the situation with the part of the family that is trying to sabotage your life. If the court's saw how they were avoiding you or "disowning you", there has to be somebody there to advocate for you..does florida have a legal aide department? Having a trust with a number of people and your financial situation definitely needs some legal advice.

please don't give up, look for legal aide in your county, town...if you can't find any, go to your assemblymen, legislators and up the ladder..these people are all voted into their positions
