Boundary issues and their ramifications

[Guest guest]

All, We've all (or most of us anyway) have just been though a new boundary issues course, bringing all that 'responsibility' up to consciousness along with 'our responsibility to report' ......... had a case come up where one of my long-standing elders went through an emotionally fragile period that prompted her daughter to 1) take her out of her home of 30 years, 2) sell the home and all of its furnishings so mom can't return, 3) put her into a nursing home. A week later the mom fell (slight fall with minimal to no damage) causing the daughter to 4) yank her out of the nursing home and 5) put her into the daughter's home. There is a part time care giver that comes and goes. The daughter then goes on a short vacation, 6) leaving the mom home along during the day with the care giver coming in at night. Then the care giver tell me that the daughter is 7) 'giving her mom her (the daughter's) prescription of xanax and then taking it away when the mom became too loopy'. That did it for me: I called in a report to the police non-emergency line, making the statement that it was not an emergency situation, that I had waited until it went beyond 'family drama'. That call was made last Friday, ~ 4pm. Over the weekend, the police showed up at the daughter's house, at midnight (!!), causing enough of a ruckus to stir several neighbors and giving the daughter my name! The call I received this morning from the daughter was not one of my more friendly conversations. To say that I am a bit upset would be an understatment. The daughter was civil but threatening at the same time. My patient has surely 8) just lost her doctor. A subsequent call to the Eugene Police Auditor will be furthering the investigation. NOT what I expected with this type of thing. Sunny (off for a dose of hypericum!)

Typical lack of common sense by the cops.

It is really irritating and actually flies in the face of “keeping the peace”.

The police need to get a letter from you describing your analysis of how they botched this.

Remember to tell them that you were forced to contact them to address the family problem but they exacerbated the situation by handling it in such a heavy handed way. We have all seen school officials, cops, and news media go from talking to yelling without an appropriate intermediate level of serious communication.

The cops came into my back entrance a couple of months ago as they found the back door unlocked.

The parking garage lights are usually on.

My office door was closed and I heard yelling in the hallway.

I ripped open the door to find 3 cops with flashlights trained on me.

I said, “You’ll never take me alive, Coppers!”

Actually, I thanked them for their help and sent them a note to thank them.

I also admonished them that if they yell “Lake Oswego Police”, to yell it as loud as they can dispensing with politeness.

Finally, you did the right thing, Sunny.
