[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks, everyone, and you’re right. I confronted her about the abuse and she said ‘I’m sorry you feel that way’. I can’t imagine a bigger FU. [b]I’ll look into alternative housing for them.[/b] I wish I could take care of my dad, but [b]he let the abuse happen and still turns a blind eye. [/b][/quote]

Well, there's your second FU. Sounds like you lost out big time with truly awful parents.  Hope you have gotten good therapy over the years to help you rise above the horrific violence and verbal abuse you suffered. [/quote]

I would advise against getting too involved other than giving them a list of places to contact themselves. Anyone who has heaped abuse on their kids does not deserve to get help from those same kids. If they can't figure this out on their own then Adult Protective Services will get involved.

If APS contacts you at some point be SURE to let them know that your parents were very physically and emotionally abusive and you are not going to be involved in their care or oversight. This is information they need to know from you as it may impact where they are placed since your mother has a history of violence/abuse. APS may quickly find beds at a facility which is appropriate for them.

Then let the chips fall where they may. [/quote]
