    Wow this is just sickening. Who would do that to their own parents. Way to pay back their favour of raising, feeding and clothing you. This is just wrong. They're like children from hell>:( Just unbelievable.

      +zmxls2000 Im a couple months off of being a professional SSW trained specifically in seniors. You may be surprised by this, but its much more common than you think to see this kind of abuse. or stealing their parents money, or even physical abuse. some people are just disgusting.

    This made me sick :( - I have yelled at my mother through frustration- but no way in hell i would ever treat her this way as she enters into old age. Your parents give you a life of endless love and support- to the best of their capacity- and that is how you return their love ? Absolutely disgusting.
    Everyone will be a "elder' in time- and karma will reach those who treat the vulnerable like this.

    The worst part is when you do break the silence and call them they tell you there is nothing they can do and it's a private family matter. The RCMP will tell you the same thing. The Public Guardian & Trust will tell you the same thing. The reason this happens in silence is because the perptrators know there is nothing anyone is going to do about it. Change my mind.

    curse is the man or woman who abuse the elders .....they have senses and feelings intact though they are unable to do anything by themselves. if anyone mistreat them, they cry in their hearts or feel sad.
    please don't abuse them.......you will sow what you reap.

    Don't be mean to the grandma when she wanted to talk to other family members! He spoke for her without even asking for her opinion, which is sign #1 that he is a jerk and an abuser with his own issues to deal with.

    Wow its so horrible. They should hear half blanket reflection. Its basically a story that a grandpa is disrespected by his son and daughter-in-law, and the grandson sees all this. The good part though is when he rips the blanket in half because the half blanket is going to be for his parents when they are old. Basically, this is what makes them realize of their actions, and they are sorry. There are many versions.

    My mother came to Antriëb with a “dominance” agenda of me. She was relentless and threatened to not fund me in my current quite low financial existence. She and other of the extreme sissies are trying to govern more youthful people. They never were that strong, they had fantasies, but they are rather pathetic. 🌷🐝 I’ll offer a 6 pack of water if she goes to a nursing home, but really my mother earned neglect and abuse, as have many elders @ here.
