| Will it be easier to face if you ask the state to investigate and press charges? |

| As we found out in the OJ case, civil court has a lower threshold of evidence. Sue his ass. |

| You don't go to the funeral for the dead. You go to support those who are mourning. If you have no interest in supporting your brother, don't go to the funeral. You can go to the cemetary to say goodbye to your mother some other day. |

I'm so sorry. This happened with my uncle and my grandma. We did everything we could, but nothing happened to him.
It took me a long time to get over it. |

OP here: I am so sorry. It is awful and very painful. After the fact, I could see the clues, see the meanings that I overlooked because I refused to believe. He even confessed, but I did not understand what he was talking about at the time, or I thought he was just venting or really did not mean it or something. He is happy he put this burden on me -- that was part of the plan -- he wanted to relive his burden and check out if he would get caught. Yes, he is an evil person. But very smart and devious. Talking to him puts a stain on the soul. |

| It sounds like you didn't care until the will was read and you realized he got everything. |

That is one way to look at it, but it is not true. Reading the will let me know what his motivation was. |

While your mother was sitting in a wheel chair with brain damage your brother confessed to you that he pushed down the stairs causing all the damage. You stated that you didn't understand what he was saying but you also state that he confessed. Why didn't you do any follow up on his confession? Or go to the authorities? Did you just want him to take care of her and make your life easier or something? Then you found out about the will? Why did your mother leave everything to him 20 yrs ago?
I would go to the funeral. It is your mother. Also, won't all your family be there? It might be nice to see everyone. |
