Hey, how's it goin?
I am very intelligent but I do not have the veneration required to be taken seriously by my mother, and the way I've been treated I doubt I'd be shown dignity if I was kind or patient etc. So, clearly I am very frustrated. How do I get my mother to go to therapy and take her medication while I am being ignored while asking, "What [she] mean[s]?" The reason she needs it is because she is forgetting some rather important things and acting very negligent and paranoid. I know I am under the a/effects of her health status and I know there is little I can do. Again, my question is, what can I do to help my mother? Especially with therapy and support?
As far as your question goes, you would need to get medical POA for your mother before her doctor would agree to speak to you. At the least, get her insurance information & perhaps you can make an appointment. And again, she'd have to consent to GO! The truth is, you can't save a person from herself. Your mother has to be cooperative first in order for you to make ANY headway with her. Most of us had to wait for a catastrophic event to transpire before our folks would agree to be 'managed' in any way by us. Sad but true.
Best of luck
Best wishes to you and your mom.
