I was born on Pierce Brosnan's 14th birthday.
I was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm, before 1yr.-old. I have clips on the aneurysm, made before 1980, that. Make having an MRI, potentially fatal.

My developmentally-disabled (ex)wife. Ran out of the bedroom, when. I had a severe seizure. No call to 911.
My first (ex)fiancee has Bipolar II, and. Probably Borderline Personality Disorder. When I had two severe seizures', in front of her. She didn't run, she called 911. We even lived 1,150mi. from my mother
While I didn't have any seizures' in front of my second (ex)fiance. Her OCD caused her to obsess about my health, which. Considering my (ex)wife's ignorance, was refreshing.

A woman two years younger than me, that. I hoped to start a relationship with. Died suddenly in 2021 from Dialated Cardiomyopathy, that. Wasn't found until her autopsy.

If your mom is seeking legal action to get you placed. You should have received a letter to make a court appearance. You need to get there or hire your own lawyer to help you. If you do not show up at the hearing, then the judgement will go towards your mother.

You really have not asked a question. Your title mentions Mom and Medical POA but you say nothing about how Mom is involved with your care.

If you are of sound mind, the Medical POA is probably not in effect so Mom can't force you into a home. You can have her MPOA revoked and assign someone else. An 85 year old maybe should not making decisions for you.

Seems your marriages are to people who too are disabled in someway. You need someone who can be dedicated to you. At 57 (Pierce Brosnan is 71) its going to be hard to find someone who can and will care for you. And really, you don't have much luck when it comes to wives. I may give up on that. Maybe what Mom is suggesting is more of an Assisted Living or group home where there is staff to watch over you. You still have your freedom just there is someone qualified there when you have a seizure. Assisted Livings are usually private pay. Maybe your State has a Medicaid voucher that will help you.

Your mother is 85. You need to plan for your future. Maybe you should start by seeing an attorney who specializes in people with disabilities. Maybe such an attorney can point you in the direction you need to go.

If you’re deemed to be of sound mind you can name whoever you choose as POA. Seen an attorney to do this. This same sound mind gives you the choice on where you live. If you’ve been found mentally incapacitated by a doctor then someone else is supposed to make decisions in your best interests, that’s what POA is for, something we all need. I wish you peace

Are you independent and of sound mind? Then choose a new MPOA. If you are dependent on your mom, it is past time for you to figure out options for life after she dies - sooner rather than later.

I am sorry for your numerous issues. Your post is somewhat confusing. Is there a main issue that is most troubling you need help with?

I sure don't need to be in a 'home'. I was married(1992-2000) n' engaged(2002-2007).

When I was married, I was the one who had to take care of everything. My (ex)wife only wanted to be involved, when. It suited her. I had a seizure in front of her. Her only reaction was to jump off the (platform)waterbed, and run out of the bedroom. Fifteen years after I got my divorce. My (ex)wife was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Whining, "My life is over!!!" I didn't feel an ounce of sadness. That was in 2015. She also stopped denying, she has a disability. She is still alive.

My mentally ill (ex)fiance, told me right from Day One, she has Bipolar II Disorder. While she was emotionally abusive. When it came to my physical health. She didn't mess around, and. Was quick to call 911. On three separate occasions.

Do you understand my experience?
