The entire time, she blew off her regular baby sitting time with my nephew, making the other grandma take off work just to do so. After the girl passed, I figured all would go back to normal. NO. TUrns out the couple she was housing had "problems" and needed help (money) to buy their prescriptions. Turns out they really enjoyed staying in her home, as they were not as wealthy (they live off the dole).
She told them about a yard sale she was planning for this weekend many months ago, and of course, they came to "help" in spite of her telling them she'd rather they did not. This time, their 16-year-old son is with them, in her computer room/financial papers room. These people are shady, they do not work, and at age 73 she has no business feeding, housing, cleaning up after,etc. these moochers. They've already filled their brand new SUV with a ton of yard sale stuff. They are staying until the sale ends tomorrow.
My brother and I tried to get her alone last night to talk to her, but it didn't work. We are getting the police to run the plate on their SUV. I can check on one of her financial accounts because my name's also onit, but othe rthan that, we all are powerless to know whether she's given them a ton of money (we know she's given them some, but don't know how much).
We are planning to get together as a family and confront her about all this after they leave. I want to know if there is anything you can say to a codependent person to help them realize their problem. She believes these people are just great saints. After hanging out with them all day today, all I can say is, they are leeches.]]> Fri, 10 Jul 2009 15:38:53 -0700 http://www.way2hope.org/family-forums/index.php?showtopic=1548 http://www.way2hope.org/family-forums/index.php?showtopic=1538

So many of us continue to stay, when deep down in our hearts we know we should leave. Sound familiar?

Finally, after much agonizing, crying, anger, and depression, after trying everything she knew of to save her relationship; Kathy made the difficult decision to walk away from an 8 year relationship.

She believed that she wasn’t going to be able to survive the endless grief and heartache she was experiencing. Every day she felt like the world was crashing in on her. She was dealing with universal feelings that we all have when facing “the end” of our life with someone.

The pain and misery, the loneliness and disappointment seemed to be more than she could bear. Reading this book enabled her to begin the process of letting go of her sadness and set her on a journey of self discovery.

The ICARA (Bapi) study is currently enrolling patients in a clinical study evaluating the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug aimed at slowing down the progression of Alzheimer's. All study-related procedures and medication will be provided at no cost. During the study, each participant will be monitored by a medical team, including a nurse or study coordinator, and a physician. Positive results from the ICARA (Bapi) study could lead to a change in doctors' approach to the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and could possibly result in Bapi being made available to a broader range of Alzheimer's patients.

To find out if you or a loved one are eligible, visit www.ICARAstudy.com or call 1-888-770-MEMORY.
