Flying for people over 65

[Anonymous]

My mother lives me. We are immigrants and she came to live with me several years ago. She and I do not get along and there is often tension and arguing. I won’t bore you with the details, but it’s a dysfunctional relationship for many reasons.

Tonight after dinner I said something to her which should not have started an argument but it did. Words were said and then she lunged at me and started hitting me. I managed to push her off and she stopped hitting me. My child saw the whole thing and tried to get in the middle. I’m still shaking.

My sister lives in Europe and I want to send her to live with my sister. She also has a place of her own in our home country. I do not want her to get sick and die of COVID however. Given the situation, I’m willing to take some risk and I can’t afford to pay for a separate place for her to live here in the US.

Would you given the recent violence put your parent on a plane to Europe in the next two to three days?

I swear I’m not a troll. My life just sucks.

Yes. Assuming she has a passport that would let her go
to Europe now

Yes. But her a p100 respirator and some hand sanitizer and send her on her way.

Thanks! I’m going to talk to my sister tomorrow and figure out where she is going to go. The last thing I wanted my child to witness is this kind of violence.

Absolutely. As long as she is allowed to fly into Europe, I'd send her. No one hits me and stays in my home.

Please, OP. Please. You cannot deal with that in your home right now, and COVID issues are going to get worse further, here in the US. Everything will be harder to manage.

You and your daughter deserve better. This is important: you don't do anyone any favors by allowing them to seriously mistreat you. If they love you, the regret will be enormous for them; and if they don't love you, you should not be close enough for them to do that kind of damage.

OP here. That's exactly what I'm thinking. I wasn't innocent in the situation. I said some nasty things, but I would never, ever raise my hand to anyone.

I am researching flights now. Her passport is for a European country of origin so she should be able to fly home with no problem.

I would send her away now while you can (relatively safely). Your kid deserves to live in a healthy environment.
