He initially thought he won the big 8.5 million lotto, then he was conned into sending money to save the man's job. He was tested for dementia earlier this year and was clean but his behavior in regards to this scam has me concerned so I am in the midst of petitioning the courts to strip his rights and become ward. He was in the hospital and left in altered mental state but still did good on test. Will I be able to get guardianship on grounds that he is being exploited into gambling his money away?
I am so happy for you and your dad.
Im relieved I intercepted ALL of my mother’s mail since last year in March. She was deleting her checking account by not paying just bills, but sending so much money to these idiots! Then, she’d pull money out of her savings because she’d run out of money! I gave some nun holy hell for taking part in this!
Just for the hell of it, I asked her for my mother’s money back. LOL! Like that was going to happen! Also she needs to go to confession!
Anyway, I got complete control of her finances! I’m executor if her trust/will.
Her Alzheimer’s is moderate, but does some pretty off the wall things. I’ve taken over everything else, even intercept calls. I took away her credit card, too. I think I may have convinced her that they were all after her money. Whether she remembers it or not, so far so good.
Thank God her only obsession is television!
She has all the other issues like not bathing regularly, her hair not groomed, loss of appetite, trying to launder adult pull-ups, spraying Pam in her coffee, things like that.
She will not have any stranger in the house! Been battling that one. I sometimes have to threaten her that if she doesn’t bathe daily, I’ll call someone in. Then she moves!
So, my dear lady. Do what it takes! If he hits rock bottom, so be it!
Good luck!
