Tom DiRoss & Jean DiRoss

Actually Tom dictated the letter to Jean. Jean then printed the letter and gave it to me. I mailed the letter to Jean and Tom on Wed, Jan 24, 2018.

Hey Tom and Jean:

On Sunday, December 10, 2017 at about 4:00 p.m., Jean met me at the Tempe Library and gave me $300 and a letter from Tom. Here is my response to that letter.

Item 1 – The fact that Dad left me out of the will really doesn’t matter in this issue.

Dad has always treated me like shit, constantly yelling at me, insulting me all the time, attacking me verbally, attacking me physically, slapping me, and beating me with a belt. Dad was always telling me I was a worthless piece of shit and mentally abusing me in other ways. I remember I always used to get in trouble for crimes such as “acting funny” or “saying hi wrong”. It didn’t matter what I did, it was always wrong in dad’s eyes.

I remember the time me and Tom were fighting. Dad chased me into the bathroom of the master bedroom and slapped me around. Of course when he found out Tom was the cause of the fight he did nothing to Tom to punish him. He gave me a lousy $1 or so. I don’t remember if he apologized to me for slapping me around when I did nothing wrong.

I suspect that Dad also partly caused Jim’s suicide because of all the abuse that he gave to Jim. Dad treated me like shit first and Jim like shit second. Myself I have thought about committing suicide many times, but I never carried thru on the idea like Jim did. And of course one reason I thought about suicide a lot was dad brainwashed me into thinking that I was a worthless piece of shit. Jim probably had the same view of himself.

Another item I remember is being grounded for months on end with no expiration date. I was grounded all summer several times. And the only reason I was ungrounded was because dad yelled at me for hanging around the house all the time. He then ungrounded me when I told him I hung out at the house because I said I was grounded. Dad did everything he could to make life miserable for me.

Sure adults are smart enough not to believe that garbage. But when you are a small child you believe that brainwashing.

And I remember the time dad tried to get me committed to the Arizona State Mental Hospital. When he took me down there I think he wanted them to lock me up for being crazy. They gave me a bunch of tests then let me go. I guess things didn’t work out as dad had planned.

And I remember when dad sent me to the Priest at OLPH for my problem behavior. Again things didn’t work out how dad as planned them. Dad didn’t like the answer the Priest gave him. The Priest told dad he had to earn his respect. They he couldn’t just demand respect.

Mom said that dad treated me really nice until I was about 6 months old and them seemed to do a 180 degree flip and started to hate me.

I suspect growing up under dads tyrannical behavior cause me to have some serious mental health problems. I suspect that it caused me to be mentally retarded and mentally ill. I suspect that I have PTSD or post-traumatic stress disorder, based on what I have read about PTDS. Even though it probably wasn’t even invented at the time I grew up. And of course all of those problems still exist today.

I could write about this for several days, but I don’t want to send you a 400 page letter.

So dad leaving me out of the will is something that I expected, and I think everybody expected.

And of course it has nothing to do with the liens or other stuff that was not part of dads will. It only has to do with the liens and stuff that mom left me.

Item 2 – The reason I never contacted you guys is because of the problems discussed in item 1. And because I was a fugitive from the messy yard police. And I didn’t want you guys to be pressured by the police to turn me. I don’t view myself as a criminal, because the ACLU has said the messy yard laws are unconstitutional. Of course getting the courts to declare them unconstitutional will cost far more money than I have.

Item 3 – From the way your letter was written it sounds like you and Jean have no intention of giving me the legal documents that I have been requesting the least two years or so. And you want me to sign the liens without reviewing any of the legal documents.

Is that correct?

Also from the talk I have with Jean at the library on January 20, 2018 it sounds like you guy are not going to give me anything else until I sign the liens that you have been asking me to sign.

Is that correct?

The same liens that I have refused to sign the last two years because you guys have refused to give me copies of all the legal records and documents that I have been asking for over and over. I am not going to sign off on the liens, until I see all the legal documents and records and run them by a lawyer.

Item 4 – I don’t know why you and Jean don’t want to give me copies of all the legal documents and records about what every trust or legal entity you are controlling. I’m sure that is your job as a trustee, executive or manager of that entity.

Item 5 – I think I have told you and Jean this before both verbally and in my letter. One reason I have refused to live in the condo you guys have is because I have not seen the legal documents and I don’t know what is mine or isn’t mine. The legal records I have seen seem to say it is Jean’s condo, not mine. Also it’s also a very noisy, crime infested place. One article I read in the Arizona Republic said the intersection of Camelback Road and 19th Avenue is the most crime ridden neighborhood in the city of Phoenix. There are homeless people sleeping in the street, and noisy neighbors. And of course the last problem is a psychological problem in that dad lived there. Mental health is important.

Item 6 – You can tell me that I am a liar, and say that I am not homeless all you want. I sleep on the streets every night and I think most people would consider that being homeless.

Thanks

Mike
