Come on… you mean in this day and age of clickbait, attention grabbing headlines, they didn’t use the word chickenshit?

Thanks again. They’re on my list for tomorrow

Ok given that my father has no assets, has income of $2400 a month, and even if he qualifies for Medicaid it seems unlikely we’d find a place…

What are some viable options?

Thanks so much for your advice on the procedure. Do you have any advice on getting him out of my house?

He’s insufferable and hell bent on getting his way, at all costs including berating is and badgering us. I can’t do this level of drama for any longer period of time.

He’ll find ways to get online. Today he took the car keys (he’s on the title of my parents’ car so he didn’t steal it - but he probably shouldn’t be driving)and drove to the library and got online.

He won’t listen to reason, and he’s becoming increasingly belligerent with the obstacles we’re throwing in his way to getting online. Yelling and screaming, following us around and badgering us. It interfered with my wife and I’s work today (we work from home some days) and we have a 7 year old daughter and I don’t want her exposed to this.

Would I be the guardian? Or like a state appointed guardian?

I’d prefer it not be me as he’s becoming increasingly belligerent daily now. Truth be told I rather he not live here anymore. It’s not mentally healthy for any of us.

Yes if you are in poverty Medicaid will pay for a nursing home. If you have a lot of money you can pay cash for a nursing home.

If you’re somewhere between pretty well off and dirt poor, you are in no man’s land and probably can’t get into a nursing home.

In addition to all of his money, he’s asking others to contribute. I guess we’ll just disagree that I have a right to be upset about this.

He’s probably right on the borderline of qualifying for Medicaid due to his recurring social security payments.

He’s devious. He took the car that he and my mother own today (he really shouldn’t be driving) and drive to the library to get done what he wanted to do (Western union I assume, etc)

These people have convinced him that what you and I would call real charities are scams.

Wouldn’t you also want to see a family member not get scammed?

Ok take the money out of it. There are another accompanying behaviors that are associated with this whole scammer situation that need to stop.

Like talking with them in the living room on speakerphone on his phone, and asking other family members to give him money so that he can send it to them. These people telling him sob stories that regularly bring him to tears, etc.

If I can stop the flow of money, they’ll stop bothering him when they realize he has no spendable money.

We don’t really care about or need his money. It’s more of wanting the overall behavior to stop.

He thinks he’s doing good for these people (supposedly paying for tuition and medical expenses). He cannot be convinced otherwise, every single member of his immediate family has tried to tell him from everything form a compassionate standpoint up to and including yelling at him eventually once you can’t even make an inch of difference in his thinking.

Little known fact: Vince Lombardi was named after the rest center and not the other way around.

Or jagoffs.

I think we’re missing the big point here in that these would be the best smelling sheets of all.

“Honey, these brisket scented sheets are amazing!”
