Family battles
QUESTION: Masters, I returned to London recently to help my father aged 101. He was suffering abuse from my stepmother and exhausted from cooking every night. He died probably as a result of the conflict after I brought in an adult protection officer. I became the scapegoat after his funeral. My daughter and stepmother made false allegations to the police who evicted me from the house. Does my father realize what happened now and know that I loved him or does he think it was all about money? In the end he seemed to be filled with love. Is he in a good place now? I dreamed he was shouting that he was in prison and hurling things around for attention, not knowing he had died. Is he at peace or distressed that all his money and half the house will now be passed outside the family by his embittered wife? ~Anna, Australia
ANSWER: Your father has returned to the unconditional love of Source. At home he is at peace and is “in tip-top shape,” as he says. He has no concerns whatsoever for material goods and does not take sides or have desires as to the disposition of his previous Earthly things. Since he couldn’t take the money with him, and it is of no use to him, he is merely observing what others are doing to get control of it. Who has how much, and what they did to get it, is the furthest thing from his thoughts.
The dream you had was a reflection of the way you felt about the whole situation when you arrived. There was an energy of people forcing other people to do things they did not want to do. Your father was a strong individual who did not like others to tell him what to do. He wanted to be of assistance around the house and his wife was oblivious to the toll upon him.
Your stepmother and her family had been there with your father in close proximity and could not always see that they were using him in his weakened condition. He had allowed the situation around the house to exist for a number of years and they were unable to see the effect it was having upon him. The adult protection people realized what was going on, but the detriment to your father was not seen by him and the whole disturbance shocked him into seeing what was happening.
The reaction of your step-mother and your daughter is a result of their guilt over not recognizing the effect everything was having on your father. If they raise enough of a ruckus and blame you for being motivated by money it makes them feel better about the thoughts and actions in which they have engaged. Some of the people involved have created a sense that they are entitled to a share of the estate. Step away and don’t let their drama affect your life.
