Oh. I forgot to mention the financial assessment... tick box exercise. Grrrr
I was struggling, I know I use anger to keep my inadequancies at bay, it’s the only way I can function, when I’m falling
So, she arrives, all efficient & talking about laptops. Falsely bright. Full of her own importance. I’m sure she’s lovely, but not today ... not to me .. not how I’m feeling
So I start with the question. Do you treat stocks & shares as income or capital? It’s capital. Unless it’s previously been out in a trust, it’s capital that’s been invested. Fine. In that case, this is a tick box exercise. Mum is self funding. That sure took the wind out of her sails. She told me I could sign a “refusal to disclose” & that wouId be that. Seriously, refusal. Go shove that hun
Told her I’m under the Doc, I have issues, but 3 years with sweet nothing in support will do that to you ... also told her I’ve done her job, but at a higher level. She got the message. She don’t scare me
I then pulled out the assessment by ASC, pointed out, they have copied & pasted the 2016 report, the one I slated them on, the one that says Mum is just fine. The report that says Mum does everything. Finances. Paperwork. Everything. The one that says she is cured. Suggested she ask then to share the cure. We’d all like that one.
She told me to contact them. I did that 2 years ago. They said they wouId update it. Seems like that didn’t happen.
I explained, in the scheme of things, I couldn’t care less, but if I get hit by the proverbial bus, stuck in a hospital, If they send paperwork or invoices to Mum, their paperwork will mean they expect Mum to deal. I need them to get it right. Mum wouId leave it for Sam. They need to get it right. If Sam ain’t here, ASC need to know Mum won’t be dealing.
So. Bottom line is Mum is self funding. ASC need to up their game on their paperwork & they can go to hades in a heartbeat.
Mum came in half way through. Vague. Off in cookoo land. Sure showed she wasn’t on this planet today. Who does the paperwork. Sam does. Who does the finances. Sam does.
Could have kissed Mum. She was pitch perfect with no idea of what she was doing. I’d said about her not being able to write a cheque. Lol, didn’t Mum try to sign the laptop form with an ordinary pen. Lady nearly messed herself. I was totally calm .... Mum, you need to use the lady’s pen, it’ll work just fine ..
So, we are back on our own, funding whatever we need.
Refusal to disclose ... go take a hike ... I refused nothing ... I just couldn’t be bothered. I did rattle off figures, as you do, when you’ve done that for a few years.
Another box ticked by ASC. No doubt another case closed. It’s just great how the stats get massaged
