I am taking care of my father full time now. I brought him home from the nursing home so he could be happy around his loved ones. Recently, One of my sisters called his phone and really yelled at him and got him upset and depressed. He now does a lot of crying and I want to know if i can file an order of protection to stop all of this. I hate seeing him upset because of her selfishness. He had a stroke a year ago and i just want him to live a happy stress free life.
I cared for my father when he was in agony, dying from pancreatic cancer. I was at his bedside at the hospital 24/7. My mom really relied on me to manage his care while she went to work each day. She had major problems coming to grips with the sudden diagnosis. My siblings came when they could.
The experience took a lot out of me. And I still have my moments regarding this devastating event, even though my father passed away over 20 years ago.
So I wouldn't discount the events raised by your sister. I'd try to understand her concerns. That said yelling at your father is unacceptable.
Perhaps you can have a heart to heart with her. Perhaps you can find out why she's upset about your dad making you his attorney-in-fact. POAs basically have a great deal of power over the person who places their lives in the assigned agent's hands.
So before you cut her off, get to the bottom of her concerns to see if cutting her off is the really the only choice you have.
