I don’t disagree. However, there are some statements and some issues that require a simple correction.

re: How do you deal with a parent that is losing their mind?
Posted by TigerChick2018 on 4/15/26 at 7:12 am to Napoleon
My father is 92 years old. He had a stroke. His body is fine but his memory is now shite. He is not only forgetful but he has turned into an absolute arsehole.
My mother is 85. She has moderate dementia. She is as sweet and as quiet as she has ever been.
They both did not want to have testing. My mother was terrified of an Alzheimer’s diagnosis (her mother had it). My father just didn’t realize there was a problem. He was unaware of how forgetful he had become.
I called their doctors and told them what was going on. They arranged the testing for my parents. We got them to their “annual checkups and follow up” appointments which were actually testing for multiple issues, including dementia and/or Alzheimer’s.
What did we (children) do? We took turns taking them for their “annual checkups” and follow ups.
My parents did not want to do these “annual checkups and follow ups”. So, we told them that Medicare now requires these things and if they fail to do these checkups they will cancel their Medicare. My parents then complied with no problem. Now it was a medical requirement for everyone and not us telling them there is something wrong with them. We changed the narrative and that shifted their mindset.
The doctors gave us the results. Based on those results we were able to obtain guidance how to address specific issues. Example:
We children take turns staying with them on a weekly basis.
We fix their meds in advance and give we give them to them on schedule and watch them take them (we found many of my fathers meds on the floor under his chair and that’s how we realized we had to watch. He was missing his mouth and dropping them).
Instead of allowing my father to drive, it’s “hey dad, want to ride to the store with me”?
We have a home health nurse coming once a week to check on them. They believe it’s a “courtesy” ther doctor provides.
It’s a lot. It’s life changing.
I also suggest, if not done already, you have a conversation with an attorney to find out what’s necessary to obtain a financial power of attorney and medical power of attorney.
The financial POA will permit you access to bank accounts. You will be able to pay their bills for them and be sure they aren’t being scammed in some way.
The medical will allow you to make (or help make) decisions for them they are not equipped mentally to make and give you full access to all their healthcare records.
The super “fun” part about this component is you either have to talk your parents into agreeing to giving you or someone the POAs or you will have to take them to court and get a judge to declare them incompetent.
Lucky for us, after everything, our parents had no problem with us stepping in and gave two of us POAs.
Good luck. It’s brutal, painful, and devastating for all parties involved.

No. The bullet was so DAMAGED it could not be confirmed it came from the shooters gun. It does not mean it did not match. Big difference.

Agreed… slavery as an issue was no more than a weapon of war. There is a reason the Emancipation Proclamation only freed slaves in Confederate held territories. .

So a guy wrote an article giving his opinion - much like today’s propaganda news sites. Got it.
That being said, he writes nothing I didn’t already know today. Most I learned in middle school and high school American History courses. The rest I learned as an adult by reading books. There are always alternate perspectives and anecdotal stories.
JS.

Had to look that up. She is now 44 years old. Wow.
Either way, my point stands. That girls life was stolen from her.

I feel bad for that young woman. I can’t imagine being as young as she was and being responsible for financing my family and heaven only knows how many hundreds of people.

Of all siblings, only one to graduate college.
Moved out of Louisiana in 2004. LSU because I wanted to carry a little piece of home wherever I go.

IF they have a valid argument then it’s okay to agree with them. You do not have to agree with Trump on everything.
If the argument is not valid explain to them why it’s not valid.

Some things are worth paying for. Hubby and I bought a Saatva about 5 years ago. Best money we ever spent.

I bought some boiled crawfish from the Rouses here in Mobile. They were nasty. Caked in mud. Does no one wash and purge crawfish anymore? It’s chronic and most every place I go now.

I live in South Alabama. It’s a gimmick. It means your new roof certification is a new roof by whatever standard they determine. It also means that when your limited time “gold roof” expires you pay money to get it recertified (no inspection necessary).
Will this certified roof fare better than a non certified roof? Probably not.
How do I know this? I have one. It expired. I received the recertification letter. I threw the letter away.

No, the knee replacement is due to something unrelated. Sorry for the confusion.

He is choosing therapy for now. He needs an actual knee replacement. Therapy has helped but were he not having a knee replacement he would have the ortho surgery and fix it.
