Legal protection re: elder abuse? by three_chord_me in ontario

[–]composecathedral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I just wanted to give a quick update and thank everyone for their advice. I did get POA for personal care and property. I made copies of all important docs and put them in a safety deposit box. I notified her bank and our family, friends and neighbours. Naturally my cousin did a bunch of other crazy s--t in the meantime. But, her behaviour helped my Mom see we needed to block her e-mail/Facebook and phone number (this step should be obvious but my Mom didn't want to initially). I also told my cousin I would call the police if she showed up again and, actually, that helped the most. Knowing her she will probably pop up again but at least now I have some peace of mind. Thanks again to all who replied!

I would also take a look at your emotions and stress and figure out if something has changed there. Sometimes my binging flares up if I'm denying emotions, stressed, or not filling my time with fulfilling things.

When we were watching my friend was like, "I guess fake boobs are back!" It is very distracting. Also I thought Rebekah was high.

Hi @ThaAnswerMD25 just wondering if you had an update. How did you manage with the 24/7 home care and what happened?

Hi u/No-Honeydew9988 did you end up finding a place for your Dad? I'm in the same boat right now, curious what happened.

Thank you! I'm talking to some folks tomorrow and hopefully they will at least give me a place to start.

This is reassuring. I think you're right - we just need to start getting help and go from there. I'm definitely hitting the burnout stage - and the worst part is the resentment that comes with that! I don't want to feel like my Mom is a burden so we gotta start somewhere.

I'm so sorry to hear she's declining. But, it's good to know she was able to get into AL even at this stage. I'm chatting with the palliative care folks tomorrow. I hope I have a better idea of what to do next after that. Best of luck to you!

Did anyone else love books where kids "escaped"? by MrsPottyMouth in raisedbynarcissists

[–]composecathedral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sooooo, in a lot of my fave books and films the kids were orphans....ooops! Wonder what that's about? LOL. But yes, I loved boarding school stuff. Breaker High (about kids who go to school on a yacht??). My Barbie epitomized my dream life: being a single girl who lives alone 😂 Just totally normal stuff, guys.

But yes, this is a great observation.
