[quote=Anonymous]Has anyone had experience with a non-family "friend" or employee taking advantage of an aging parent? Something akin to the age-old scenario of a younger caretaker manipulating a senior into giving them money, changing their will, etc. [i]How do you combat this? How do you convince them they are being manipulated? How did your situation play out?[/i] My parent is in thrall to an employee who is turning him against friends. For example, Employee tells him, "So-and-so said terrible things about you. And remember how she did you wrong? Remember how I've always been the one who really cares?" Parent does NOT remember, so he just believes Employee. I suspect Employee is also wheedling cash and gifts. Employee is with him daily, I live states away. So what can I do? He gets angry when I question Employee. And I am afraid to push too hard, lest he tell Employee and it spurs her to turn him against ME.[/quote]
