By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Maybe try to get her to an Al-Anon meeting so she can see she's not alone in her situation. Maybe recommend therapy to her. That's as much as can be done.
The house is in his name, so you won't be able to legally extricate him easily. It's his legal residence (as it is hers).
He probably hasn't assigned a PoA.
He has no incentive to change. No one will be able to get him into a nursing home at this point (he has to have a PoA and a diagnosis of incapacity, or you go to court to acquire guardianship, which can be very expensive).
If she ever leaves him on his own, "someone" can contact APS and work with a social worker to get him a court-appointed guardian. Then they would remove him.
If he's been a life-long alcoholic he may now have "wet brain" (a form of dementia that alcoholics get). Or is there some other health issue going on?
"Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS), sometimes referred to as wet brain, is a brain disorder related to the acute and chronic phases of a vitamin B1 (thiamine) deficiency. Thiamine depletion is seen in individuals with poor nutrition and is a common complication of long-term, heavy drinking."
In the case he becomes belligerant and threatening, she (or a present family member) can call 911. The cops may have the authority to temporarily remove him. He may even go to the ER. If he does, make sure she doesn't go back to retrieve him. Tell them he's an "unsafe discharge" and his abuse is a problem at home. Just keep calling 911 when he gets that way. I'm sure it won't be your Mom calling.
I'm so sorry for this situation, but your Mom holds the keys.
My question is, how's your mom feel about it. I wanted my dad to go into, any place but with my mom, but my mom wouldn't of had it any other way. He passed before her, but she would still be waiting on him hand in foot, even if it ment she had to crawl to get his tea, and to be honest waiting on him was her happy place. It's what she wanted.
So I'm wondering if your mom would cooperate with getting your dad placed. Even if it is what's the best for everyone in these situations
I’m helping a friend. He spouse died… (listening.. sounds like a good thing.. )
She is grieving.. she was told and hit she wasn’t good.. etc etc..
Does your mom and/or you still have phone numbers of family & friends??? If so, call them… most likely as in my friend’s case, your dad/her hubby isolated her… HE ISOLATED her. She didn’t think anyone loves her… THEREFORE.she can only depend on him….
Isolation … nowhere to turn…
Ohhh… too close to home .
seriously…
WHO IS BUYING THAT CRAP THAT IS KILLING YOUR MOM..?
Dad/her hubby says you and mom are useless…
Then gratefully apologize, and get out.. tell him you n mom understand that he feels anger towards mom.. so you n mom are going away for a couple of days to give him his precious space…
We love you dad.. we are so sorry we got you so upset… ..
shoot, call a friend or family… KOA CAMPGROUND.. look up camping sites near you….
Get out for a weekend… turn off your cell phones…
Heck, you don’t have to admit him.. unless you want to press charges… almost sounds the same as my friend.. domestic violence.. but she got home from work n found him dead.. and now she feels guilty by going to work and not realizing he was going to die if a heart attack(?) not sure yet… we haven’t received a death certificate yet.. anytime now
she was under the impression I hated her..
Hubby was a jerk… had I had known he was beating the crap out of her.. (well now, it’s a onesided story ) she snd her daughter would’ve been gone way before his death..
PLEASE REACH OUT TO YOUR FAMILY AND FRUENDS..
they will not know what really is going on until you .. TALK..
he had and is isolating your mom from her loved ones..
I bet you a hug and a wish that I may be right..
Deal?
Only way to finalize this bet is for you to make a couple of phone calls
:)
Your mother seems to be a wonderful and caring woman, and she does not deserve to be treated so poorly by your father. Your mother should walk away from this toxic marriage. Your mother should speak to an attorney to see what her options are if she were to divorce him. If your mother lives in a community property state then she will get 50% of everything that your father owns and she and you can both move on with your lives away from him and find peace and happiness which you both deserve.
