I would try everything you can do to reason with them. Is there a trusted third party who can intervene?
Removing them forcibly is not a pleasant task nor is it easy. You need to either call in social services or declare them incompetent and get legal guardianship...both will take awhile.
I would exhaust every avenue before doing the above.
good luck

Give a Hug

I'm going through the same issue with my mom. I have called social services in her hometown and they are going to meet me on Tuesday to talk with her. The only problem is I don't know how to tell her why I'm coming for a visit without letting her know I called the social worker. It is such a hard situation to deal with.
