[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go for now. You will be coming back. Research her living options. She has money. When you find something, move her - - then worry about the house. Or ..

When you're back, if she is violent, call the police. They arrive, send her to the hospital for an evaluation. They then can't release her to her home because you will state there is no one to care for her at home. And she is placed, by the hospital, somewhere - they are the bad guy. But you knowing what's out there, where she might live, where she might like to live, means you might be able to guide the process.[/quote]
Thank you, I’m definitely leaning toward leaving next week. I’m so afraid she’s going to attack me again and that I will accidentally hurt her just trying to calm her down. I hope I don’t have to call the police—it’s a pretty small town. If it does come to that, what happens if she’s calmed down by the time they get here and has forgotten what happened? She is already acting like nothings wrong after attacking me. Fortunately, one of my dad’s friends recently dealt with the 3 best local facilities with his mom and has offered to help me evaluate.

OP, you may wish to move her closer to you. What is the reason to keep her there? [/quote]
She and my dad both grew up here, all of their (and many of my) friends are here. My classmate owns the funeral home handling dad. I would have much more support and peace of mind leaving her here. There are many, many people whom I could count on to look in on her. If I brought her to the dc area I would be it. She hates dc and would never willingly move. And she would be totally against paying dc prices for her care. There are very nice facilities here that she and my father were considering. They just never got around to doing anything. My husband refuses to move here, either.[/quote]
