[QUOTE="Jean Douglas, post: 706243, member: 21283"] AppleCori, You said what I thought. My brother in law is only 50ish so I don't consider it elderly abuse. He has been in a state of depression for several years since his wife left for another woman, then he went to work for me and I had to fire him for insubordination, meanwhile he got a girlfriend of 4 years who broke up with him because she got pregnant by someone else, got cancer and given 2 months to live. He is capable of working but won't. His son has had several jobs but lost them, one because of stealing money. Charges were not pressed. So now the son lives off of Dad's Social Security Disability. The dad just won't admit that his son has a problem. Of course I have said the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. He and my husband (his brother) just lost their mother a few months ago and I am sure that doesn't help his depression. The son was an honor student in high school. The dad doesn't know how to be a dad. He has contacted us more than once to have his big brother, my husband do something to help him correct his son. My husband has a Master's Degree. I told my husband to call the hospital and talk to the doctor and explain what is going on. He is going to but waiting to hear from his brother about what is wrong. I will keep you posted. Thank you for your wisdom. [/QUOTE]
