DP. Wow, this is an excellent point, above. He might not even be a real relative. But even if he is -- he's behaving like a con man and bloodsucking mooch.

OP, you have your hands full right now and need to focus on mom and this situation, but when things are resolved please come back and update us. I'm actually worried for you and your mom, not so much physically as financially and mentally. I won't be surprised to hear that maybe he will demand money to go away and not return. Don't pay a cent, if he does that; involve the cops.

Thinking of you and your mom, OP. [/quote]

This is OP.  The very first time a few years ago that he was mentioned that was my first thought.  Con man of the umpteenth degree.  But my mom did grow up with him, lost touch for many years and he reappeared as what I’d consider to be a user.  I followed your suggestions and reached out to him to let him know he wasn’t welcome.  He’s going to get a hotel and we’ll try meet him for dinner.  Apparently my mom has some things from their parents that she wants him to have. We’ll meet him on our terms.  Without him knowing where we live.  My mom did have a relationship with him when they were children but they lost touch for many years.  And with her being elderly and probably pre-dementia they may be closer or have had more recent contact than she lets on.  She was just freaking out due to the stress of the move.  It’s a challenge.  Thanks for the suggestions![/quote]
