[quote=Anonymous] Your father is a control freak. Say “hm-mm” when he issues an edict and call the facility anyway. Then pay to get a phone in her room, or a senior cell phone with large buttons, whichever might be easiest for her. When he finds out he might not be able to reverse the actions you take. He’s going to be angry, but you need to learn not to care. I sense a ton of learned helplessness from a childhood spent with an abusive control-freak. For your own good and that of your mother’s, you need to break out of that. It does not mean fighting with your father or brother. It means working around them to get what you want. You need to be independent, sneaky and creative. [/quote]
