[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, people on this thread are awful.  You should however wash your hands of the situation.  It’s simply not your problem - let this woman die however she dies, don’t go back there or have anything to do with her care, and don’t feel guilty at all.  You’ve done so much more than you should have and are a very good person.[/quote]

Most people on DCUM now seem to come from other message boards, where their sole purpose in life, is to insult and abuse. They [i]think[/i] they melting people down. Let them have it. Their pathetic lives apparently need that to survive.[/quote]

You mean the same reason you are here?  To insult and put down others?

OP came asking for advice as she didn't like the social workers advice.  She didn't like the advice here either.  Some of us have actual experience with this, do you?[/quote]

I think the OP was fine with the advice that didn't completely misrepresent what was actually happening. Typical of DCUMers is the creation of a fantasy scenario with people then responding to that, rather than reality. [/quote]

OP did not fully state the situation of either her aunt or parents in the beginning and then only in dribs and drabs along the way. I can only imagine the situation is very frustrating (having been through this three times) yet the OP consistently displays a stunning lack of insight into the limitations of what social workers and medical personnel are able to to do when they are neither the relatives nor the POAs of the infirmed. OP was also not happy when she came here to complain about certain circumstances and people responded with concrete suggestions on what to, including possible work arounds to the road blocks. Of course that info will only be as accurate as to what was provided by OP. People simply are not mind readers.

Really appreciate people who post in this thread and other ones related to relationships where they describe their situation, get some feedback, then, rather express exasperation with people who "don't get it" (as if anyone truly can in this kind of communications mode), they indicate they have mainly come here to vent and thank people for that.

As others have said, OP may be helped by speaking with someone on why she found this very difficult situation to be a triggering one where she appears, based on her reports, to have lashed out at caregivers, hospice personnel, and even anonymous posters on a moms' blog. GL to OP with her parents - hope their move is smooth and uneventful.[/quote]
