(234,425 posts)And she's encountered heartbreaking legal problems, her two siblings have prevented her from seeing their mother. It's apparently about inheritance, but any judges in Indiana have consistently ruled against her. BTW, my dentist is now here in New York and she's "one of us." I feel for her, my brother made it difficult for me to see our mother.

(190,706 posts)We had the same situation with my great grandmother back in the 70s. On our way to see the family in West Virginia we stopped to see her at a rest home in Ohio. A truly evil man, her son, had hidden her away. When we got to WV The family was having a cookout and my mom mentioned Oh yeah. We saw her this morning. Jaws dropped. I didnt realize what was happening.
I have no idea how my mom found her (given the technology of the day) but my mom is truly something else.

(234,425 posts)This is especially difficult for my dentist - who has been a family friend since the '80s - since she has her practice and a family here in New York and her poor Mom is in Indiana. And the pandemic makes it worse. Until recently, there was a quarantine here in New York for anyone from out of state, or anyone who left the state. Even now, anytime you go to the doctor - or dentist - after a temperature check the first thing you're asked is whether you've left the state
