[quote=Anonymous]The upcoming surgery is your chance if dad will get on board. Is he willing to say he cannot give the level of care she requires even with help so they place her in an AL? He needs to let the SW know just how bad things are. Of course she won't want to go. Many of the most difficult people don't. They will make sure she takes the meds. (I am suspecting part of the problem is your mom may not take them consistently which can make things much worse.) My mom has severe anxiety when not properly medicated and she will try every approach to control people-needy, abusive, innocent victim incapable and anything, tyrant. Her peers don't put up with that BS for a second and I step back enough so she gets lonely and frustrated enough she goes back on meds and therapy. Having to behave for peers at a AL, rather than controlling your dad, will be good for her brain. They can have pleasant visits because he gets a life back.[/quote]
