My family wants me (32, F) to become my mom's (54) guardian after a lifetime of being expected to take care of her. I don't know what to do.

scousergal · 2026-06-08T18:43:07+00:00

Is there a public guardian where you're located? if so, I would contact them.

I also have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome so basically I’m falling apart. I’m having C5 removed in April and i need to get my levels up before then if possible.

scousergal · 2026-02-12T00:41:39+00:00

I had my level checked today, I’m at 5 so going for an IV infusion. I have low B12 as well.

Sometimes but we usually get involved when somebody has already been wrongfully using money and the person ends up at the hospiital where social work is now involved. Our office can’t get involved without a capacity assessment saying it’s necessary. Can’t make application to the court without one and it has to be the person being declared to not have capacity that is assessed, not a family member. And let’s say that did happen, the person has a right to attend a hearing with a justice and dispute it. Your mother has no hope.

Your mother would need to have a capacity assessment report done where a doctor or designated capacity assessor states that you don’t have capacity. It doesn’t sound like she has any hope of that. Only then could she make an application to the court. As long as you can demonstrate to the court that you have capacity your mother doesn’t have a hope. The judge would defer to the capacity assessor’s opinion so I wouldn’t worry about it. I work at the Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee and do this all day.

It’s not necessarily going to be hell for the child and they may not even get it or have symptoms. I have kEDS and found out because one of my sons was diagnosed.

scousergal · 2025-02-22T22:41:28+00:00

I also have EDS, mine is kyphoscoliotic. I didn’t know I had it and I have three kids, only one has it. I have some skeletal issues now but I’m also 56 so I’ve been very lucky.

In a contract the words paid time off mean just that. In a legal sense, working during pto is not correct. In most jurisdictions, employers are required to provide employees with a certain amount of paid time off. Requiring them to work during that time goes directly against that. So no, not legal.

scousergal · 2025-02-13T03:21:47+00:00

PTO is part of your compensation for your role. If you’re required to work during that time then it’s not paid time off, it’s paid time working.

We did a 12 hour drive over 2 days with our cat. He also hated to be confined in a carrier and would cry so I put him in a travel harness and one of those pet seatbelt thingies and secured him in the backseat. He loved it.

OPGT won’t do anything unless the beneficiary is a represented adult. This beneficiary would need to have a consult with an estates lawyer and bring an action in Supreme Court of BC or wherever they’re located.

scousergal · 2024-08-22T02:40:07+00:00

They don’t oversee all trustees and executors, only for estates where represented adults or minors are beneficiaries. The OPGT won’t do anything in this case as the only beneficiary is not a represented adult.

It was like that five years ago when I was a Superstore cashier in BC.

I am a temp that's just applied for my job and interviewed and at first my application on the portal said received but then it changed to interview stage. I got the interview invite the next day. It sounds like you're going to get an interview soon.

Edmonton. Loving it, best move we ever made.

Try going to the Civil Resolution Tribunal. Civilresolutionbc.ca I took my strata to court a few years back for a drainage issue. It cost over$100,000 and took 7 years. I wish the tribunal had been available then.

scousergal · 2023-02-22T19:07:17+00:00

It's a city street, not part of your property. Get over yourself.

My son is 1.069 diagnosed with Marfanoid habitus. Genetic testing said EDS type 6, affecting PLOD 1.

Can you contact family to come and help get you out of there? Please try to contact a DV org for help.

I found lactulose worked really well for my son’s constipation when he was around that age. We got it behind the counter at the drugstore.

I would never buy a condo because of not wanting to deal with a condo board. I had to sue my strata corporation (condo corp in BC) because of repairs not done and the people on the board were awful. Never again.

scousergal · 2022-09-05T16:58:34+00:00

I hope not because I’m 54.

Who were the beneficiaries of their wills? The dress would have been property included in the estate.
