Hello,
I had another loss, which I have been dealing with, which is why I have been missing in action. Between the losses of my parents, I have been completely devastated. I am tired all the time. I am still missing my mom so much. My siblings are not 100% emotionally supportive to me, and there's no other family members to turn to. My siblings are very close, and I learned why when I read my father's will: money (which don't include me in his will).
My 87-year-old father passed away at a nursing/rehab facility on July 1, 2009, and he was only there 2 weeks. My father had to be transferred there from the hospital.
As a matter of fact, my father had been going downhill for years, and he would be really mean to my mother and I, it was so traumatizing, and there was no intervention from any one so he could get the need he needed. No one listened to me, since I was not his POA. My sister had been his POA, and over the years she did nothing as his POA, in order for him to get the help he truly needed. Every time, I told my sister what was going on with my father, my sister got so upset with me (she would get so mad about it), as though she did not want to hear any thing about it.
I had a talk with my father's physician about a month ago, and he expressed about when my father started wandering,
and that was confirmation about what was wrong with my father - dementia or Alzheimers. Aren't there any laws out there if someone is not fulfilling their responsibility out there as a POA? It looks like, for some, a POA is just a title.
Thank you for letting me vent.:confused:
