Regarding my daughter’s rebuttal letter to The Town Line, it should be noted that the only references to dollars was what I paid a man to share my driving back to Maine. I would remind her I allowed her to write her own checks from our joint account, in her own words, “I do really appreciate your helping me out!”
I saw a lawyer who said I did nothing wrong: 1) Telling senior citizens not to make the mistake I did. 2) no malice, I wrote the truth. 3) it was not meant for her eyes to see and why I wrote to The Town Line, 2,000 miles away from Florida. My lawyer asked me and I ask you editor, et al, how the heck did she get to even know about The Town Line, or access it? Oh well, I am now estranged from my daughter. Sad as it has to be.

This is Holly Slason, Franks daughter (again) first of all my dad did NOT write the truth. I did not make him open a joing account, I did not write checks or spend his money, I only was trying to be a good daughter and be there for him and provide a nice home for him.
My dad has not responded, when I called him he hung up on me. He is stubborn and wanted to make it look like he had not choice than to leave (the cats was bull I never put the cats above him) just plain silly lies.
It was not meant for my eyes to see??? He was not even man enough to be honest with me. My dad only cared about my mom and I was on my own since I was 18. I paid for my own braces, car, college, house, etc. I never depended on my dad for anything When my mom passed away we talked about him moving to Fl. He wanted to try it.
My dad can reach out to me but he chooses not to….he wanted to make it seem like “poor me, my daugher took my money and put her cats above me” that is all bull (sh—t) and he knows it. I am sorry but I will not be made to look like a bad daughter. Many of my older friend kids tell their parents “dont’ think about living with me, you on your own” One of my friends with health issues told me my dad is lucky to have a daugher like me…her daughter told her to find a nursing hom and that she would not be welcome in there home. So here I am wanting to help my dad and be there for him only for him to make me look like a bad person. I am a college educated woman and wanted to be there for my dad. If that makes me a bad daughter then so be it but my dad has a good daughter that for whatever reason he would not give things a chance in Fl
My dad did not tell the truth…he may think in his mind he did but he did not. I was there for him, he left on his own, I even asked him not to leave and to give things time. I have been financially independent all my life (without his help) and all I wanted to do was provide a nice home for him and let him enjoy the warmer weather in Florida.
My dad chooses to shut me out…why I do not know but please be aware that there are 2 sides to every story and my dad is very good conversationalist and will win you over but take it from me..his daughter I (and he) know the truth but he feels justified making it look like he was the vitim when all his daugher was trying to do was be there for him.
Yes dad I can see the article…I know how you like to write to the editor…so hopefully one day you will realize life is short and your daughter cares about you but you are too proud and stubborn to realize the truth…you chose to leave for whatever reason and I asked you to stay. You made your decison and left.
Hope you are enjoying the cold weather.
Love-Holly
Dear Editor,
This is Holly (again) Franks daugher:
My letter was not a rebuttal letter but I was defending myself and my side of the story. First of all I never wrote checks from our joint accoutn. If we did buy something from his account it was when we were together (at walmart or home depot, etc). I never spent my dad’s monty without his agreement.
Dad, with the internet you can locate anything and anyone.
