Just 1 of my problems I feel that the lawyer shouldn't have had us as clients. Because should was very nice to me when I first saw her but then she was so nasty to me I the day after my husband died. She tricked me in to going to see her she reduced me to tears so I left you know I am 70 years old and all this stress is not good I just feel so alone now I really want to put a complaint about the lawyer . I am ringing my aged care to put a complaint with the home. I was on good terms with my husband but I don't know what to do. The lawyer told me I wasn't to have the dog as it was the home house dog. I know that she is sad because she wasted to stay with me. I hated to give her back I lived with that dog for 9 years and I know her well and I don't think it is in the dog best interests, all the residents feed her treats and I told them she was overweight I could see it.
