[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 296552, member: 2459"] Climbing ladders...yep. Brings back memories. My Grandpa, the summer before he died, was caught by one of his neighbors climbing a ladder to do something on top of the RV. Mentally G'pa was still there but physically was a different story and with the use of only one arm, weakness in both legs and being unable to speak, he had absolutely no business on a ladder. I agree....go disable the car and tell husband and mother in law you are doing it. Better yet...take husband by the hand, go over there and have HIM do it. If he argues, ask him if he wants to be responsible if father in law forgets which pedal is the brake and plows into someone. It may vary from state to state but I would imagine that family could be held liable for something like that if they KNEW the driver was impaired and did nothing to stop him from driving. Is there anyway you could contact father in law's doctor, tell him/her what's going on and maybe have the DOCTOR talk to the family? I can understand the denial but it sounds like they are going to have to face facts SOON. I'm sorry you're the only one who can see things for what they are. It's sad and heartwrenching but changes need to be made and you can't be the only one taking the brunt of it. Call me if you want to vent. HUGS [/QUOTE]
