So many people have similar stories and there's many worse off than I am; That's often why I don't open up about stuff because there's always someone worse off. Situations like yours can be tough and can tend to linger, changing a person...Not you, but others maybe. I wonder if his third wife lived to regret he decision to bar your mum and uncle access to their father. I hope so.

Thanks for responding. I had thought no one would due to the depressing nature of the post...But people have and that makes me smile.
