Nothing changed. Sister flew back home. Adult children still leaving her there alone. Me picking up the slack. Heavy sigh. The woman has recently been diagnosed with some bleeding leakage in her heart and a clogged artery on top of brain shrinkage, edema, and her speech patterns are getting worse. Surprisingly, my 97 year old dad is doing better than her. Go figure.

I am so sorry this is happening. I think we can all tell that they aren't going to help you at all, even if they fly out or say they're working on some plan. I think they want to leave her where she is because then they don't have to take care of her.

And I think that's an awful thing to do to YOU. I guess you could just stop going over there and doing anything for either of them. Then report them to APS as vulnerable seniors living alone and unable to take care of themselves. That might be hard to do but what are the other options? You can't throw her out if it's her house and your dad doesn't agree to it, right? Your dad doesn't seem to be able to make good decisions.
