In reply to the discussion: Elder parents committing fraud and threatening, anyone been through this? [View all]cpamomfromtexas
(1,245 posts)5. Thank you, I feel so on edge and alone.
I hate that they bring out the nightmare memories in me. My grandmother would never have left him in charge if she had known. I didn't tell her all of the things I should have but now I'm learning that kids frequently don't tell.
I'm glad society is changing and kids know they can tell adults. In a small town, I really felt like I had no one to tell. And if I did, and he found out about it, he might kill me.
I look back at photos of myself and I was so terrified I could barely eat. I literally looked like a concentration camp survivor. I look severely stressed in almost every photo.
I can't believe all of this is popping out so many years later. Pretty scary stuff.

Let your badass attorney handle it and keep as much distance as you can.
