Ungh...I hesitate to offer “advice,” never having had to deal with senile parents, but I do understand your concern and your growing frustration. It sounds as if that attorney is sending you on Wild Goose Chases to try and distract you from the fact that he is taking your FiL’s money, along with everyone else.
My suggestion of releasing him to a “PAID” conservator is based on the gut-wrenching feeling I had when I was reading this synopsis, of what I’m sure is a long and detailed narrative that is far too complex for most people to understand unless they have “been there” or have had experience with people who have.
Even though he has a Medal of Honor, this doesn’t give him carte blanche. Period. Go with your heart on this, and see that he is, indeed, given the best care...with someone who has the facility and the manpower to deal with him in the manner that the situation requires.
And don’t feel guilty about it. You didn’t ask for his behavior, and you are not responsible for it. If you have a place in mind, I would contact them post haste and make arrangements. And good luck for your future...a lot of pressure will be taken off ALL of your family, not just you and Mrs. HK. I will be praying for you, and yes, it’s OK, and it doesn’t make you a Bad Guy.
I really cackled about your eggsellent story about the layers of your coop. At least you were a good egg about it all and didn’t end up in hot water with your neighbor! She could have really scrambled things up!
OK. I’ll quit.
Seriesly, I’m going to be praying for your strength and guidance in this thing, and I know that Heavenly Father will sustain you in your efforts to save your FiL from himself.
Back from our church activity. We also collected a jar of water from the stream behind the church, in aid of a county water quality project. We’ll get some more when we’re out at the Scout camp on Saturday.
Then I got two giant canteloupes at a farm stand, and then some pink drink and pretzels, plus various BOGOs, at Harris Teeter. They’ve have job openings: I will tell Tom the Son when he returns.
Then I stopped at the auto parts store and got a new bulb for the turn signal. I was going to put it in, and then tell all of you so you could be impressed, but I can’t find the right kind of screwdriver-like-thingie.
Thanks. Need all the help I can get.
There’s been “drama” over the phone just since my prior post. EGAD!
