Adult Protective Services real nice lady came. She isn't allowed to tell my mom who made the report on her, which was a life saver for me.

At this point, everything is voluntary as far as my mom going anywhere. Since she has all her facilities when sober, and she was sober.

I did pour out all the booze in the house, I did not announce it, so I think if she looks for it, she will just think she drank it all.

She was also told that IF I BUY it for her, that I am the one that could end up in trouble (like jail-manslaughter) if something was to happen to her due to alcohol. Which the lady told me isn't really true, but it makes my mom think. She was told with all the meds she is on, she could just go to sleep if drinking and die.

She said then she will move, I doubt that she wouldn't know where to begin. Or she will go and get it for herself. I can't see her doing that, but you never know.

My mom did say she wanted to find something to occupy her time.

She doesn't want to go to a therapist, nor go into a facility for depression and or detox or assisted living. I am getting a list of Doctor's that deal with gereatrics, which will probably be much better than her regular PCP.


It comes down to the fact that she knows right from wrong.


Now this APS keeps a check, which is good and I can call anytime, and they will visit time to time.

I wish I had better news. Now my plan is to try and ride this lease out, give myself time to save money and then move. Then she will HAVE to either stay here by herself or move.

I don't know, I guess I did what I could, I wish she had agreed to something, but that wasn't what happened.

Hugs, Nikko
