UPDATE to :Trying to keep family member away
So the uncle that I posted about previously stole money from the woman he was with to buy a bus ticket back to our state (he was across the country).
Gpa has lied to my mom (he had sent $ to the uncle), but since the uncle has come back into town, he has not been taking his calls.
Uncle's whole plan was to show up, call 911 and go to the VA. They kept him one night and then started calling my Gpa to discharge uncle to him. Gpa told the admin from VA that he was done and about all the crap uncle has pulled over the years.
VA sent Uncle to a shelter of some sort. Mom has been to the police, put up no trespassing signs and "battened down the hatches" so to speak. Lawyer said nothing they can do until something happens.
Mom is stressed to the max dealing with her elderly father and will NEVER agree to put him in a home. So this is likely taking years off her life, dealiing with the effing stress and strain.
She is so upset that he has lied (he doesn't know she knows about the money) that she said if uncle ends up in the house she might just let him and they will kill each other (with stressing each other out etc).
It is a mess and I'm sick for her, but she's been on this roller coaster for so long I don't think any of them know how to get off of it.
Re: UPDATE to :Trying to keep family member away
I did not see the "prequel" but wishing you luck. Hope this is resolved positively.
Well, yay for grandpa for refusing to go get uncle from the VA. It does take some guts to stand up for yourself, and that's a step in the right direction. Maybe it will also be a wakeup call to your uncle that his own father didn't even want to pick him up from the hospital.
Hope uncle fades back into the woodwork soon so you guys can stop stressing about it.
