My brother is mentally and finacially abusing my father. My father is 79 years old and isn't quite with it anymore. My brother has talked him into all sorts of things because my brother has a bad temper and is mentally unstable. He has told my dad not to have any contact with my sister or I. As of now he has moved in with my dad with this girl from Indiana. Oh by the way, my brother or this girl do not have jobs and they leave dad alone in the house all the time.
I know the reason they are living there is just to have my dad support them. Please can you help? I have contacted the sheriff, elder abuse hotline and the
Mayor of Waverly and Tammie Barrett and the Lancaster and Cass County
Atttorney. I got your this website info from the Waverly Care Center. My sister
and I and my dad's neighbor's can't believe that my brother is getting away with this and nobod will help us. He just got out of Tabitha on July 20. I can't believe
they actually let him go home with my brother. I just lost all my faith in Tabitha.
As other posters have stated, I'd go a step further and keep a journal of all observed abuse and calls that you've made to the Sheriff's office or Adult Protected Services. I would try to make friends with the police and your local APS. Therefore, they will be more responsive to your requests.
Once you get your dad in the system, then, I would place him in observation for a week, so they could determine the best treatment options for him. This would allow them to diagnose his conditions and determine the type of care he really needs.
Wishing you all the best.
