[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 619409, member: 84"] DDD I know it can be done. Thankfully bro won't try anything other than changing Mom's mind about who has the power........and it would take H*ll freezing over before that happened because he destroyed any trust she had in him over the stunt with sis in Texas. (most of that was bro's doing, not sis) Bro is too broke to attempt any other move.......as is any other family member who might consider it. Sis in Texas is done in that direction, totally. If they want it that bad, they can have it. I will have given it my best shot to protect her and that is all I can do. That is the ONLY reason I let her put me as her POA in the first place. Right now she is making me none to happy as it is as I'm suddenly butting heads with her too. Pain medications and having to stay at my aunts with 2 brothers who flat out refuse to take her anywhere near the house has her lashing out. I was her target today because I happened to call. I don't back down from her, though, but I do know how to calm her down. She is feeling pushed out of her home again and it has her panicking. I told her I'm not pushing her anywhere but safety is now an issue. If she wants to stay in her home, someone will have to be there with her. I don't care if that is a room mate or hired help. Although a room mate will not last long due to the paranoia issue. She was talking all over the place today and rambling on and on and on. Couldn't keep facts straight or even keep events in order. I'm not jumping to conclusions yet because she is still on pain medications and she took a major thump to the head. Not to mention she is still out of her normal environment. She is none to happy with me because I had to once again inform her that her days as family caretaker are over. That not one of her grown children will move into her home regardless of how desperate their financial status becomes......which is why she says she wants to hold on to it. What she really wants is for me to move in with her. Folks that is just NOT going to happen. I'd live on a street corner first. Never will I live either in that state or town again. Period. No discussion. She just is unable to grasp that each of her children are now the heads of their own family/extended families and have their own obligations. In her eyes we're still each immature 20 yr olds. omg So I will do the best I can to keep my promise to my grandma and I just can't do any more than that. It's hard enough to deal with an elderly parent who is fighting given up much of their independence without adding severe mental illness into the mix for kicks.
