My mother suffered a stroke about 7-8 months ago. She has left sided weakness.My sister & I have been caring for her full time in her house.My sister has been taking her to her rehab appointments regularly. Our urgent problem now is that adult protective services have been called on us & we are being accused of neglect. Wednesday,a single social worker came out & wanted to take our mother immediately to a nursing home. My mother refused to go. Yestderday,it was like a whole army of people came again to try to take our mother away. they wanted to inspect our home because we do have holes in our ceiling. They used "good cop-bad cop" techniques on us. they told us that our mother could stay in an assisted care facility "temporarily" while we make needed repairs to our house. they also told us that we could be charged with felony neglect. This is overwhelming & I'm terrified that I'll lose both my mother & our house. This house,for all of its major faults,& there are MANY,is bought & paid for.We don't owe a dime on it. We just pay property tax & utilities. In my eyes,this is state terror & bullying.

I'm so sorry that I haven't been on this board for a while. The Lord has allowed a storm to come into my life to bring me back to Him. Again unfortunately it involves my mother. From since I last posted,my mother had a heart attack in January 2010,had what the doctors called a brain seizure around November 2010 which caused her to have stroke related dementia,& now this past week,she had another seizure(with another stroke) which caused her to lose her ability to speak. They had to surgically put a feeding tube through her abdomen. Basically I'm just humbling myself & praying for God's will in all of this. For good or bad,that's all I'm praying for.

For any who are still reading these messages,my mother passed away this past Thursday. I have been spending my time settling her affairs along with my sister. Both of us are currently unemployed & have been living off of our late mother's income as we were also her caregivers & living in her home,especially during her illnesses. So you can understand the fear & turmoil of what to do next in addition to the grief of losing our mother.
