[quote=Anonymous]She might be more open to therapy if you use the shooting incident as a reason to see someone. Tell her that a lot of the stuff on NextDoor is fake, and that Vegas has crime and poverty problems (both are true). Try to get her out of the house, with you or in social groups, so she is not at home obsessing. If they are not churchgoers, maybe an art class or beach combing group, yoga if she can do it. Agree with PP that this is dementia (and anxiety), hearing loss contributes, and she needs treatment. I might push for POA if she won't see a doc at all. Do everything you can to prevent her moving away from family where she will only become more isolated and ill. I'm familiar with the unsupportive spouse/step-dad dynamic but haven't found a solution: it can get really bad. I'm sorry. [/quote]
