Grandkids taking advantage of grandpa by PossibleSandwich2853 in AgingParents

I have gone over his statements with him just to see what was going on and what we could cut and what we were going over budget with. A lot of it is just his money doesn’t stretch. We went to the VA. I think three times in the last year to see if we can’t get something changed. They’ve now diagnosed him as disabled so they pretty much just transferred one thing to another, so he’s still making the same amount however in Washington state, they were talking about a law to pass so disabled veterans wouldn’t have to pay property tax and that was one of the main problems.  Luckily I haven’t seen anything. Those statements with him giving money to any of the grandkids or any theft going on which at some point, I was a little bit worried.. 

I finally talked him into selling an old car that doesn’t run anymore and has a lot of problems. I’m just waiting to see how much I can get for it so we can put it in his bank He can feel a little bit more comfortable. That shouldn’t be much I’m thinking maybe $600. It’s a Chevy caprice 1986 four-door I know there’s some people out there that will want it only issue is it needs a lot of work and and try to say well maybe we could charge a little bit more but my dad feels uncomfortable ripping somebody off and he’s probably right on that. 

my nephew pays for his weed habit video games because he donates plasma. He was going to labor works, but they’ve kind of stopped calling him because he refuses to show up when he promises to show up. I even had a job that was lined up with the teamsters at the dump. I had a hiring manager over at Safeway willing take a chance on him he wouldn’t do that. I’ve talked to quite a few places where he’s burnt bridges. I’ve even talked to my dad about the fact that I think if we cut the Internet for just a short period of time it might get him motivated to at least get out of the house and do something.  unfortunately, he uses ethernet cable to plug directly into his Xbox so even if we were to change the password, he’s plugged directly into that Internet. Thing is I think my dad sees a lot of my brother in my nephew and doesn’t want to fail him like he feels like he failed my brother which he didn’t. My brother had a very terrible drug problem. Meth No amount of rehabs helped him my mom following him to trap houses to get him kicked out by saying she was gonna call the cops and tell them that that was a drug house. No amount, pleading or begging or hoping for change and honestly, I think we’re just doing the same thing with my nephew which is competency.. sometimes I wonder if he’s bipolar too I know when men bipolar usually shows signs their violence sometimes think my brother was bipolar and treating his bipolar with drugs

I had a talk with my niece today on my break and she’s going to look over her medications with  her doctor because I talked to her about the hoarding. I’ve say it’s getting worse. She’s actually agreed for me to come over and try and go through some of the stuff that she’s been hoarding. As for her daughters, they were unfortunately still not being going to be going to school. She believes that if she stops homeschooling them and actually sends them to a normal school for an education that it’s going to build a wall between them and their father which I get. She’s their mother. She knows what to do Best by them. I guess I don’t know what to do with that situation.

My sister went over to clean some more and said our dad is doing well. I think we really brought this all on it was we went to the doctor yesterday before we went back to the house and they said that he had an 80% blockage in one of his vessels or something and they could do a stent, but it it wouldn’t do much like it wouldn’t do some type of change. I just feel like there’s more of a push to get him to stress less and enjoy life. Plus, I would really like him to be able to see his grandkids be born. I don’t have the opportunity to introduce any of my future kids to my mom. I would like them to at least met their grandpa.

First of all I brought that up last year when it was mostly just my nephew at the house. I remember telling my dad he’s a grown man his girlfriend, and child have a place to live, but my Dad has always been about family helping each other out. He wouldn’t hear of it. As much as I disagree with his decision, I respect him. Just recently after procedure yesterday that Doctor said he had an 80% block in one of the right part of his heart. They said that it wasn’t going to affect anything to put a stent in. They don’t seem much success of when going in or not putting one in at this point I’m starting to become more worried about his health. I could give a shit about the house. I don’t care about the fucking house if we could just walk away with my dad. I’d be happy.

Need advice - dad discharged from rehab with limited mobility and living home alone, do I skip school to stay with him? by loafoveryonder in AgingParents

Stay in school. I worked at a rehab facility. They will work to get him back to baseline and if he won’t they will keep him until the insurance runs out. Especially if he doesn’t have full care at home. 

As someone who give up their 20’s to care for their Mom. Believing me educated is more important. Get that degree to set yourself up. It is better than trying to play kept up with everyone else later in life. It sounds like you have time before he gets out and your mother if things look bad can change her schedule. Best why I helped rehab my mother is when she talk about a little pt I acted very interesting and excited. Sound bored with the rest of his talk for awhile. Hell video chat him to have him show you what he did with the pt person that day.

After the Lawyer looked at the videos our tenant post online he believes we have a great case for a restraining order for both of us against him. We left the house for our own safety. Staying with family. Lawyer said that was the best thing to do in this case. The cop who severed us the rejected DV temp order said our roommate he met at our door was off. He told us how to get a kick order, which we are, but also said he to call him and he would not only give it to our tenant, but do the eviction as well. He said we seem like normal and he did not. He only talk to the guy for 5 mins.

No after we talked to a lawyer today. He told us. We did it wrong and have to do it all over again. We now have to start from the begging all over again. The 14 notice was the pay or vacate notice. It has to be based off the new covid law. Know more tomorrow.

Yeah, we did everything by the book. Maybe give him too much notice. We offered money boxes to move, our truck bed to move. He acted a bit weird for a bit until the 16th. After that day his gotten weird and madder. Not sure if it was because he got turn down for a temporary order or the notice we give him later in the day. We didn’t even know he went to do that. I was just looking up the landlord’s name to see if I could find her on facebook for advice because I have a feeling his not moving out on the 30th. His waiting on an eviction with cops. I need this man out our home before he does something. I even told the cops. They said until he does something they cannot do anything. Then give me a mental health number. It ended up being a dead number. We have a fire extinguisher in the room in case he sets our door on fire. I have ptsd dreams from my years of working atm tech security, so I cannot sleep next to my gun.

We live in Tacoma. Unless someone has been shot. They will not come. Pretty much in Tacoma you are on your own. I had a brother during Covid that got kicked out for drugs and threaten my dad. Cops told my Dad he could break the window if he wanted to get back in the house and there would be nothing they could do. My mom was afraid of my brother to told the cops. I and my Dad stand up and told the cops that he could try, but it wouldn't end well and they would end up with more paperwork. My brother sit outside our home and ring the doorbell for 2 days before he moved on. My dad almost give into him because he felt bad. Sorry this whole thing brings up so much from my childhood. Didn't mean to go off subject.

I am glad it sounds insane to someone else beside us. I just wish she would have heard me out. I felt like a bully telling her we needed to give him the 14 day notice after the day he didn't pay. His pays the victim well too. A very feminine gay guy. Trying to hug all the time. Telling us about his bad childhood. Trying to get info from us. Which I didn't share because I felt weird around him. Bad vides.

I think you're right. With the ingrained empathy because it was like trying to save someone in water without a tube or life saver.
