I am her and my 67 yr old disabled brothers caregiver. She got released she called a lawyer and filed a dvpo against me. I was removed from the home. Not allowed back in home till court date in two weeks. Unless I hire a lawyer there don't seem to be anything I can do. She controls all money. What can I do, who can I talk too?
My mom has calmed down a lot since I left home at age 24. I have found that I can get in her face and shout her down if she even attempts to start the same b.s. she was pulling when I walked out 35 years ago. She backs right off.
I was in a situation back then where I felt I was finally losing my grip on my sanity because of her. When I had left, somehow she managed to get to talk to me and this sick smug self satisfied proud statement 'I had all the cats put down, even elisa'. followed by this wheezing snicker of some sort. I did not even answer. I should have called her a b*** or something nastier, she just went on with whatever nasty drivel that was her wont at the time. It is amazing what 35 years will do. As I mentioned earlier, i can get in her face and back her off. Shuts her right up.
You are out, sadly you have to wash your hands, and if it helps you to maintain your health and sanity, so be it.
Just remember: paybacks are hell. May not come in this lifetime but it will come. Hang in there.
If you find yourself living in a place where no pets are allowed, find a shelter to volunteer at or get a part time job there. Take care of yourself.
1) It's way past April 17th. What happened in court?
2) When the sheriff or APS goes to your mother's house, why doesn't your brother speak up?
My God, he'd likely do much better in a group home or assisted living - hope he can be rescued.
