In reply to the discussion: Elder parents committing fraud and threatening, anyone been through this? [View all]enough
(13,256 posts)11. When the elderly parents go around the bend, it's hard to believe how deeply it affects
your own mental state. This is why its so good that you have an effective lawyer who knows you and whom you trust. Best to back away as much as you possibly can and let the attorney deal with it.
Hoping the best for you, and it looks as if youre on the right track. These family struggles often can never be resolved psychologically, but your trusted attorney can keep you from getting abused again in a different way.
