After I became legal guardian for my dad, BOA opened a new CC for him without contacting me when my brother coerced him to do that. That was after my brother was emptying out his bank account (thus the reason for the POA and eventual guardianship.)

I had to deal with BOA again with my parents. The bank recognized the POA, but the BOA mortgage company refused. They kept trying to take a mortgage payment out of a bank account that didn't have the money - even after the payment was made ahead of time. Horrible company.

I left BOA more than 15 years ago. They were horrible to deal with when I had to help my MIL after my FIL passed. They refused to cancel a CC she wasn't using that had about $30 in made-up fees added every month like "wallet protection."

We know now that Wiles is his enabler, according to the VF article. So she did this for him. He throws out a petty, vindictive whim, and she makes it happen.

Every single day it is another degradation. And his sycophants go right along with his childish and narcissistic whims.

Can you imagine coming home and finding your tree moved to a new location? You would not normally think the cat was involved.

I had a decorative snowflake tree skirt from Costco that had lots of glued-on gemstones. One of our kitties made it her personal mission to remove all the gemstones because they were fun to play with.
We have a plain tree skirt now.

It is good to focus on something else. I'm doing more cooking, too!

I haven't been to Floriduh since 2015. And I still have unexpired Disney tickets.

I very much appreciate you sharing this. It resonates. It takes a process to heal and move yourself forward.

I had never seen them do that before when traveling out of the country, and they would like nothing more than keeping track of everyone domestically as well.

Maybe I could do that and then visit my son going to grad school in Germany.
As for travel arrangements, where would you fly into? Is there more info to help estimate total cost including the stuff not included?

They were doing this back at the end of April when I left to go to Germany. Border patrol agents (in StL!) were taking photos of everyone boarding, then looking at the device before we were allowed to board. They are using facial recognition.

Love this! We always have to put out a pillow bed for the kitties when the fireplace is going. They love it.

Fair point. I didn't think of them as being in charge because they are only following the whims of one person.
