We live an hour away and can't get away, hubby works full time and I run the farm so no spare time to get away.

As for groceries/meds etc, we supply her with beef and veggies year round to help out (before it was a gift).

As for the "come to jesus" meeting (and I use that phrase a lot, lol) thats not going to work coming from us, a lot of this is her ploy to manipulate the boys, since hubby wasn't able to be bought now it's a matter of trying to guilt him. This is a woman that states constantly that she would take any of her boys back any time. And any attempt to work together with the brothers would turn into world war three, it's always someone elses fault with them. Hubby is the quiet mediator but the other two just blow up and then turn on him.

There's just no way we can help financially, we don't have the extra money, what was gifted to us over the 4 years was used for a tractor purchase and in the last land purchase.

She brings in more a month than we do, we just manage to stretch money better than she has.

Thanks for the thoughts though.
