[QUOTE="DDD, post: 298199, member: 35"] I have never read in any of your posts that your family was anything other than supportive I have read in your posts that you are having difficulty with your memory, that you are in pain and (justifiably) you are stressed to the max. I've also read that you are concerned about the future...again a logical concern. My bet is that your collective family is highly concerned for your wellbeing and have probably had conversations that included phrases like "I wish she would just move closer to us so she is not alone." "I worry about what might happen with her health problems with no family around." "I think she is at risk of someone taking advantage of her." etc. etc. Usually, in my experience, there is ONE family member who decides "I am going to do something and not just talk about it!" I bet that's what happened. That relative now knows something about your financial condition, your daily living etc. that was not known before. There may or may not be a collective famiy action to "protect you". I agree that you need to create a "Linda's Team" that includes your physician, your attorney, perhaps a representative from disability office, and anyone that you might really trust who lives near you. Steps can be taken to protect you from those who are trying to protect you! :winking: I would not delay to seek those steps. on the other hand, as a distant cyber family member, I have felt the need to suggest on more than one occasion that moving closer to family might be the right choice for your physical/emotional health. The stronger and healthier you are the better you can make choices on how to supplement the care your children are receiving. I'll include you in my thoughts and prayers today. DDD [/QUOTE]
