[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op again. I'm going to consult someone on Monday. I know that she was following the legal advice she got to protect herself. I just wish that she had told me what she was doing in advance so I could have gotten my dad representation to protect himself. I did speak to my dad and he I'm not sure if he even understands what happened (he is sick in the hospital right now). He also told me that he and his doctors think that he is fully capable of living at home without help and she is the only one who thinks that he needs assistance. So that needs to be sorted out - she does tend to exaggerate his problems (e.g., she'll call me and tell me he had a stroke and we'll be packing the car and then she'll call and hour later and say oh, it's not a stroke). But he also needs to understand that it is difficult for her to care for someone and live on edge wondering if they are going to fall, etc. so he may need to accept help in the house to give her a break. B/c he is still on drugs in the hospital, it wasn't the time or place for me to have that conversation with him. Thanks to everyone who provided input.[/quote]

What is the discharge plan?  Is stepmom dumping him in a nursing home and washing her hands?  Or, will she continue to care for him?  If she is dumping him, move him to a home near you.[/quote]
