Here is the latest: my uncle apparently phoned Oma to invite her to his cottage. She didn’t remember this conversation, but my mom found some notes written on a newspaper to that effect, so she asked Oma if he had called. She remembered that he had called, but not which day he wanted to visit or any of the details. So, I emailed him and he is picking up Oma today to take her to his cottage until Saturday.
When I asked Oma about this yesterday, she said she didn’t want to go. I spent 6 hours with Oma yesterday, and every time she though of going, she would gasp for air and look very agitated and say that she doesn’t want to go. She would turn to my mom and say “please don’t make me go!” I was very worried about her since she was having problems breathing because she was so stressed out about this. She REALLY doesn’t want to see my uncle after what he’s done, but she does want to see her grandsons (they have not visited her at all this summer).
So, mom suggested that we invite her grandsons to her cottage for a visit this weekend since everyone will be at the lake. This made her feel much more comfortable and she was so relieved that she wouldn’t have to go to my uncle’s cottage.
I emailed my uncle and told him very clearly that Oma has decided not to go to his cottage since she doesn’t want to go away overnight, but that she would like his sons to visit her at her cottage.
He responded with “Oma will be fine with family, she went to Quebec City overnight, so this will be okay… please make sure she is ready as promised”. So, he is not listening.
I am going to visit a friend out of town this afternoon and one of mom’s friends lives very close to her, so I think we are all going to disappear this afternoon and I will drop mom and Oma off to visit mom’s friend while I am visiting with my friend. Since Oma clearly is having health issues over the thought of going to my uncle’s cottage, we have to step in and keep her safe. He will show up to pick her up and there will be nobody home. Which will make him furious, but it’s not my fault he didn’t listen to me when I told him Oma decided not to go! Sheesh!
Good thing Oma’s appointment with the lawyer is on Tuesday… that appointment can’t come soon enough!

Why didn't Oma tell him she didn't want to go?
I see this backfiring, as I think your uncle is just going to say that you guys convinced her not to go.
I hope the weekend goes smoothly for you all!
The problem is he is being SO SWEET to her that she forgets she is mad at him. Then she gets off the phone and realizes she doesn't want to be with him. So who knows what she told him... she doesn't remember. If my uncle only knew we were trying to encourage her to go!!! Until she as having problems breathing when she thought of going. It became a health issue and we couldn't let her be that stressed.
He showed up to pick her up this afternoon and of course, there was no body home. But he left a note saying that he and the boys really miss her. Ya right! If they really missed her, they could visit her once in a summer!
True! Blarg! I hope the rest of the weekend went ok!
Happy Anniversary! :D
