[quote=Anonymous]The HHA is her employee, not mine. She was at doctor's appointments when they explained how her conditions + booze would increase risk of stroke or need for dialysis. My mother appears to go along in front of the doctor but I know her. Plus she'd be likely to drive impaired, that is not the "fix" unfortunately.

She's all about control and I get that driving is a loss. She thought the heart issue and meds would cause the DMV to pull license so appeared to go along with that too. When she found out that was not the case, has done a 180. Her health and energy improving have led to more chaos and drama.

Now her eyes have deteriorated. Her license is about to expire anyway. There was a fatal accident near her recently involving an elderly driver, the risks are real. But "that would never happen to ME!!!" etc.

Once the car is gone there will be another focus for the crazy and chaos but there won't be such a risk to the public. I tried the risk to estate and the money she needs to live on speech, may try that again.  She's likely to do it to show she can do whatever she wants but to call and scream at me regularly rather than not speak to me.

The HHA texted me, she is upset/worried too. She is a nice lady, we are all surprised she has not quit tbh. A neighbor also texted, they worry about her posing a risk to THEM if driving. She must be crowing about her key victory to all.

I figured out a same day title option so may go down. She keeps saying she won't sign it but I'm not sure what else to do. At least I would have tried that. She could always buy a new car, something she pointed out to me. I woke up with a migraine and just feel ill.

Good luck to all dealing with this issue. [/quote]
