ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN I dont know!!! I can handle it myself. Your father

sounds just like mine.I have a senile, very ill old father, almost

dead, and on top of THAT, he has a LOADED GUN!!!! the police had to

come last november. couldnt legally take the gun, altho they did

trick him out of some other guns that were in the closet. I cant

control him Ann. Ann he has a creepy friend, the guy has taken

EVERYTHING! thousands of dollars worth ann. This fellow cut down 30

cords of standing beautiful trees.about 200 trees, for firewood off

of our land.He has Dad brainwashed, and if I say anything, the old

guy goes for the gun. It has been a horrible nightmare. So even just

this week, we got a trigger lock for the thing. Every agency i call

shuffles us off to another. Now I am being told in order to stop the

theif, I have to get conservertorship. Its a big big mess. Yes he is

getting paranoid,weird,angry, hostile. I cant take much more of it. I

have no good advice.LOL. I was just googling kleptomaniac. To see if

that explains why a person would take everything, even things he

didnt need from a dying old man. Creepy stuff.one more thing, i lIVE

there, to take care of dad, and this is going on everytime I leave

the house. cindy

pills, my father is on at least 10 a day- - - nothing too serious for

his facilities are in place but his personality is awful. O, my poor

mother--so how do you get a parent who still has life in her to make

a decision to get her mate into a nursing home so she can enjoy what

life she has left? The Dr agrees that he is ready for that stage of

care-- she won't make that decision. I realize that this is not that

kind of support group but since you re care taking your father I

would appreciate any advice as to how to handle a man who is paranoid

and a " pill " himself!

Debbie, Well I hate to even tell people cause they will think I come

from a doozy of a family!!!but that really wasnt the case. Its really

shocking in a way to me. That this is all going on. My mother would

roll over in her grave. My father was always a problem, but somehow

my mother kept him in line. Then when she died all hell broke loose.

And the creep came out of the woodwork. I hadnt seen that fellow

since 1970. So he started to hang out as dads health failed. Just to

GET everything he could i guess. Its a real real mess. And i tell you

tho I wish. I just wish I felt better. NO MORE NECK STUFF. I guess

too, that is what senility does. Old foogies with guns, no no not

good! but you know? stress like deaths, illness, makes us feel worse

too.horrible cindy

Hi , I hear ya! I understand what you're saying...it can be

really hard to grasp when you've got a parent with mental illness

on top of everything else. I feel for you!! Seems like your dads

friend is a vulture, scavanging everything he can...even trees?

I agree with Annie, was going to say the same thing. You'll need to

do it evenutally so you might as well start trying to get some

'Power of Attny' ppwk going...it's something you'll be needing in

the long run anyway when your dad will be needing you to make

decisions for him and sign things....if not already. But that'll

help give you a leg to stand on against this guy that crawled out

of the woodwork after all this time, just to see what he can get.

Hug!
