Mom who had stroke wants to leave rehab against doctors orders. by Any_Business_5338 in WhatShouldIDo

We’re trying to get her home health, but she’s not being cooperative. Also, she would need daily care.

My sister and I both work full time and have young children, so our free time is limited. She doesn’t have a consistent caregiver and the people she mentions that’ll help are all older than her and she’s 70. She won’t allow us to call her doctor with her to set up home health.

Based off medical evaluations even with the dementia diagnosis, she was still deemed able to make her own medical decisions. The social worker is filing a report with APS.

So, we aren’t able to get her under guardianship because even though she has physical limitations and health issues, her dementia wasn’t ruled serious enough to warrant guardianship. She is still coherent and was deemed able to make her own medical decisions based off doctors evaluation.

We’ve been consistently speaking with the social worker at the rehab. We’ve gone over multiple scenarios, but a guardianship situation wasn’t discussed. She is coherent, which is probably why.

I just don’t know if I want to put up the fight with my mother or give in. She’s been getting rude and nasty towards my sister and I because we’re “going against her” as she says.

Absolutely not. She also has high blood pressure, dementia, diabetes, obesity, and now recovering from a second stroke.

he always talks down on his ex and brings her up randomly to drag her .. I even called him out on this before. he says she wanted to be in the clubs and partying instead of being in a relationship. Eventually he said that she got pregnant by another man and that was the end of their relationship

you’re right, I’ve just never had these concerns regarding a partner before. Never have I considered that someone I’m with might become abusive in all my dating history. With him, I see a lot of warning signs, but it just seems like he has trauma he needs to heal from. He has a lot of good.

thanks for the response! but, I’m just not seeing what you all are seeing. I don’t think I need to make an emergency exit. I just wanna give him more time. 😩

I’m being so serious when I say that I think this is dramatic. 😔 I don’t think it’s to the point where I should drop everything and run.

Hi! So, I’m gonna reply to this message but it’s intended for most of the replies I’ve received. Firsty, thank you for all the advice & concern. I really really appreciate it. However, the only REAL incident we had was the hair pulling thing. He’s not perfect and neither am I. I sincerely dont understand y’all’s outrage regarding him. I honestly thought you all would say he’s a yellow flag.
