In Reply to: Way OT:Taking care of aging parents posted by Rootsy on July 06, 2013 at 21:00:09:

My parents are still in their home in Florida and I'm in Ohio. All of my three brothers and two sisters live down there. Mom is 87 and dad is 82 but has dementia and can't be left alone. My criminal sister lives with them and takes care of things around the house. Criminal?... she stole something in the area of $50 to $100K from my brother's business for a drug habit and took off to GA and TN when he finally realized what she was doing. Many years later she called the parents begging them to come get her in TN as her "husband" was arrested for drug dealing and she's been thrown out of their house and her stuff was put outside. We think she might even still be married to this thug. My brother didn't pursue charges when she came back, since all those years passed (7-10 yrs.) and he didn't want to upset our parents over it (Mom maintains she didn't do anything).

She worked some as an in-home aid for the elderly. She is of course very secretive of what she is doing and Mom thinks she is wonderful and a great help, maybe she is. The Criminal won't let Mom talk too long on the phone, you can hear her in the background cussing like a sailor for her to get off the phone. My other sister has some way of knowing when to call so the Criminal isn't there, but Mom is not very forthcoming. We are concerned that she has or will take over the parent's financial accounts and may have convinced Mom to will her the house when they pass on (it's nearly paid for). My parent's assets are modest but Dad has a good pension and retirement health benefits (he worked for a large Ohio city and we know how golden the retirement bennies can be).

I just want them to be taken care of while they are here and, I don't need anything and I don't want anything but what my parents want me to have when they pass, but I sure don't want that determined by the Criminal. I'm too far removed geographically to deal with the senior issues our parents have, but I'm still concerned about them.

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945.
