[QUOTE="DDD, post: 416502, member: 35"] Patricia's post was excellent and it also gave me a "light bulb" moment. If you truly believe that your parents are being abused mentally or physically you can make an anonymous call to the Abuse Dept for your State. They are mandated to do an investigation although if your parents deny any issues it will probably be labeled "unfounded". Because I've never lived with volatility I honestly forgot about that method of taking action. Abuse is defined differently by various authoritites. Most of the time elder abuse is action that puts them in fear of their safety or places them in financial danger. You'd be surprised how many families steal all the money and food from the elderly. Of course even though calls are made anonymously it is often very apparent who made the call and the older residents frequently harbor really negative feelings against the reporter. DDD [/QUOTE]
