My Step Mom has always been mean and crazy, but lately she keeps losing things, running into things when she is driving (not other cars), can't remember where things are...gets lost when she is driving, etc....She doesn't think anything is wrong with her - she thought it was always my Dad. She would call the police almost weekly on my Dad. She would tell the police that my Dad who could hardly walk put cameras in her bedroom (they slept in different bedrooms). She takes pain pills and kept saying my Dad was stealing them. I wrote yesterday a question on here - regarding my Dad and trying to help him. He is in the hospital and needing to go into nursing home. My Step - Mom will not pay a penny for his care. I have POA - and trying to get things worked out. She hates me. I have called adult protective services on her - per the nursing home he was in before going to the hospital. She verbal abuses him. The nursing home will not let him back in when he leaves the hospital b/c of my Step-Mom.
Anyways - she needs help! She needs to be n a nursing home herself. So my question is even though I don't like her - she needs help! How do someone go about doing so? She and I don't have a relationship anymore b/c of me trying to help my Dad - (me pay for his nursing home with private pay) she thinks I'm trying to take money from her - My Dad and I made an apt with her doctor back in August to tell him she needs help (the doctor is pretty much a quack doctor anyways) but he said that he couldn't prescribe her medicine b/c she doesn't think anything is wrong with herself. He said there wasn't anything my Dad nor I could do??????
The only way you will be able to get her any type of help is when she becomes sick enough or has a bad fall to be taken to the ER... then tests could be done... and the placement into a continuing care facility.
