A small claims question for any legal minds...

Thanks.

I got all of the albums and photo cubes back but my sister had removed quite a few photos but thankfully and as far as I could remember none that I hadn't already copied so I just put the copies in the albums to fill in the blanks.

The solicitor did say that my sister was "very rude to staff" when she dropped them off. I can only imagine what's gone on in my sisters mind.

Glad you finally got an acceptable result, even if it were begrudged. Now you can move on. A pity that your sister seems to have burned her bridges.

It sounded like she had set fire to the bridges long ago,,........this last action was the bridges collapsing from the damage done!!!!!

I've given up on any family reconciliation. I did try but my sister just ranted down the phone and not only that she invented events which never happened and accused me of theft and criminal activity. All lies. I've bent over backwards and as my solicitor has confirmed I've been more than reasonable and I've gone further than I needed to with the lot of them. Since all this trouble in the family started one sister has died, her daughter having previously sent an insulting message to my wife is out of the picture and I'll never speak to her again, for my own health and for the sake of my marriage I'll have no further contact with my surviving sister or her son and daughter. I have some family down south and they've been very good but my local family is gone and I've accepted that.

And all this trouble started because I asked my two sisters to each come once a fortnight to give me and my wife the chance to get out for a few hours and not worry about our mother.

Siblings, eh?

My sister and I used to fight over anything and everything but then, my mother's family were entirely capable of picking a fight with their own shadows!

Mind you, my four uncles, all born in Ukraine, would be an asset there, now!

Since I've had all this trouble I've learned that trouble in families if not the norm is still very common. It's the scale and pure nastiness of it that I couldn't grasp. This was the sequence... Trouble in the family... Mothers death... Trouble in the family. It was all... just... awful.
