[quote=Anonymous]OP again - Here is the update - They would not let the social worker in, but my mother may be somewhat compliant. She has severe health problems and hasn't been to the doctor in at least 8 months. So she said she is going. I don't know how though, as far as I know she is not mobile and not able to get down the stairs. I suppose the social worker will further intervene if she does not start doing things to get better.

She said she felt invaded and scared, which I understand. There is a history of child protective services intervention in our family... :( But I told her we are fighting for her life and please see that we are trying to help her have a better life. I know it will take some time to settle in, but it might. I don't know. I told her we are not going to let her give up.

I am trying to take it one thing at a time. But there are so many things. Benefits, health, and housing being the main ones.

So they are hooked in and the social worker is going to keep coming back. We are moving forward I guess. That's all I can hope for. My brother and I discussed conservatorship or at least being a representative payee, that is surely down the road at some point if she lives much longer. :( It also falls on him because I don't live in the area, which is not the best.

My aunt (her supposed caretaker) is angry - and bitched out my cousin, who agreed with me on the report. I really, really don't care and I won't talk to her.

Thanks for reading, this helps a lot. I haven't been talking to anyone about it.[/quote]
