A positive update...
A one year restraining order was granted. We are all relieved. Very stressful.
Took our relative to lunch the other day and she was very appropriate and said a lovely "thank you," afterward.
AND she has agreed to just about stop soda!!!! she likes water with this powder you sprinkle inside that has zero calories and tastes like strawberries. Ok, probably not the best but, in this case much better than sugar. We talked about the risk of diabetes and she actually listened for the first time. I told her in the the not to distant future, she should see the GP and run some tests related to this condition and she seemed ok with this. I'm pleased. Very positive several days and she seems to be at least interested in being pro active re her health.
