How does one do that? My parents could live so much better life if they did this. They get scammed by every con artist in the country. They sometimes have to bum rides because of their poor driving abilities. They are barely able to function (as in cook, pay bills, take medicines, etc . . . ).
It’s not easy! Beau’s parents sound like yours - they will NOT leave their (fairly isolated) farm, either, and in an emergency, none of us are really close enough to make a difference. It is what it is. As long as they don’t hurt anyone else, I guess it’s Live and Let Live.
With my Dad, FIRST I had to get him to stop drinking - which was easier once I took his car away! Then, I got ADRC involved, and we were assigned a Social Worker, and while she WAS like Nurse Ratchet, she got the job done. God Bless Her!
I just kept telling him; ‘We’re on a waiting list for this FABULOUS apartment for you!’ And when that finally happened, I just started moving his stuff OUT and got him in the car and told him we were going to the airport to fly to the gulf to catch a cruise. ;)
