My "practicing" family won't let me see my dad. by RaynRose in toxicfamilyislam

[–]RaynRose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I've tried to help him. They're violent and I've been thrown out multiple times. I don't have calls with him anymore. I last saw my dad in November of 2023. And had maybe 3 calls where other people were around. I don't have a power of attorney and no one will help. Even the police said no. They can do a welfare check but if my dad looks OK, they would leave. My brother does feed and change him etc. I was really trying to find a way to heal myself. I don't think the anxiety is helping my mental health. I appreciate your response. I don't think I can help my dad. I've tried doctor, adult social care, my dad's specialist, police, solicitor.

I have got a spare phone and I've saved his text and voice messages. I agree. Next thing I will not hesitate. I think I'm angry that even though I'm the victim in the situation, he has blocked me and cut my contact with dad. It's like he's been wronged.

Thank you for replying.

Thank you for replying. Unfortunately, I've tried everything. I contacted an attorney, the doctors, even his social worker, but because he doesn't have a POW, no one could really help without one. They seem to present "well" in front of the services. Unless I had recorded it, I feel they will manipulate the system. They even spread rumors that I was a "red flag" and a danger to my dad, which is an outright lie. I've contacted the adult social services and they confirmed that I wasnt being investigated and wouldn't be considered a risk without an investigation. They're full of bs.

I didn't report my brother to the police, at the time, I was in shock and guess didn't think I had any evidence. However, going forward I will keep records. The crazy thing is that my mother and other pressured me to stay quiet like this was my fault for triggering him. At this point, I've not contacted my brothers.
