[QUOTE="witzend, post: 152432, member: 99"] Maybe SS has a point about elder care. My experience with older adults whom you can't prove are a danger to themselves or others is that the doctor just plain isn't going to talk to you. But if you can make arrangements for Meals on Wheels, or visiting nurse, something like that, they are mandatory reporters, and you know that they will see the imbalance in your sister in law. They are also more likely to talk to you and take your concerns into account. Do you think that your husband would be willing to talk to them about setting something up? He could approach his sister along the lines of "I know mom is getting to be a real handful, and it's time to find some help for [i]you[/i] so that you can have some time of your own." She might not even realize what is going on until the train is out of the station and she can't stop it. [/QUOTE]
