[quote=Anonymous]Detach and calmly give a choice-either she allows a professional you hire to assess his needs or you will have Adult Protective Services assess for free.If whoever she chose agrees all is well, you will back off. Make it clear if she chooses neither, you will put in a call to APS. Do not say it as a threat.Say it in a matter of fact way. Do not feed any drama with emotion. Yes, she's scared. Yes she is afraid this means their aging. We can empathize, but we also need to make sure there isn't neglect. There is too much manipulation and dramatics sometimes when they deal with an adult child. You need a trained professional to cut through that and move things forward. [/quote]
