[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents both have dementia. Just so you know, we have them in 24 seven hour care at home with paid aides from an agency. It costs over 200k a year.

I'm sorry about your chronic pain and hope it gets better. I don't see what filing a claim would have accomplished (I'm a lawyer), so I think that decision was good.

+1. I’m shocked you even considered filing charges against your father knowing he was in cognitive decline. [/quote]

OP here- I meant to respond to this one.

For those who didn't read my earlier threads, I went to an urgent care, a sports medicine doctor, and now a third doctor for care for my spinal injury. I had to explain how I got the injury, and my records follow me from one doc to another. At the urgent care, this triggered mandatory reporting for the healthcare facility. I had to seek an exemption for the urgent care employees from the hospital administrators that oversaw the urgent care in order to prevent the urgent care employees from filing a mandatory report.

Once I was in care, I found that I could get around this requirement by explaining first that my father had dementia when he did this to me. Because my mother lied and didn't tell me, at first this was treated as a domestic violence situation.

All things that I did not know prior to being in this situation.[/quote]
