[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 679048, member: 19522"] Oh boy, this is hard. Mom is being taken advantage of, and is probably quite frightened by the whole situation. What else can she do? Her son is abusive.....I agree with the other comments about elderly services. I don't see any other way. In the States there are agencies that advocate for the elderly, do you have something similar in your country? I agree there is something very wrong with your brother. I would not attempt to try to reason with him. I hope that your country has services to help mom. It is hard enough to be 80 years old, but to have this happen is a terrible thing. She must feel trapped. I think that the stress would have a horrible affect on her health. What power does she have? None. She is old and fragile and being taken advantage of by her own son. This is happening to the elderly everywhere. Maybe you could make some calls, and try to find resources to help her. I hope that there is a solution, the sooner the better. So sorry for the heartache of this. Keep posting and let us know how you are doing. (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
