She can dance if she wants to.

She can leave her friends behind.

Because if her friends don't dance? well, her friends don't dance and... they're no friends of mine.

Sigh B. It's always B time.

Sorry guys, B has packed her suit case then lied to her SIL about it being near the door of her bedroom with a 'oh I just wanted to get something out of it'

Her son in law is like "Okay, well if you got it want me to put that ssomewhere? " "oh no no.."

And he's later going "She lied right ot my face"

When does she leave? (We know the answer is "Not soon enough," but you know what I mean.)

Oh, at least two housemates are like she can't drive so we should try our best to talk her out of it. I've hit the stage where if it were only HER life in danger? I'd say "Later gator" because she's put us in this no win situation

And I'm still tempted.

I think SIL is being practical oing "What is our liablity if we let her tear off?"

It sholdn't be ANYTHING as the doctors won't commit to writing down on paper that she absolutely should not drive but they mention it ot her daughter

Wait, I thought she was packing her suitcase for a planned trip. She's just thinking about making a break for it? At night???

could be.

She's not leaving till the 13th I think

not officially

Oy.

But yeah, she's acting like she's going to take her car and go. You know, just waiting for her daughter to get home from her second job so she can make a show about it I suspect because she's lying to the son in law and sure not talking to me.

Her daughter needs to insist getting it in writing.

Good grief.

Her poor daughter does nto deserve this

This is emotional abuse. "Do what I want, or I'm going to do something that risks my safety and well-being!"

she should dump the old bat at her house and let her fend for herself

Yes. Well, B won't take her pills when she does that.

And will end up fallen and can't get up in a week or two

it's happeened before

get her a bracelet alert

Honestly? My advice to the son in law? Next time B ends pu in the hospital? Tell the Doctors to put things in WRITING that she can't drive or refuse to take her back

Oh she's got a life alert thingee, or did

agreed

Yup.

Sorry, I have some sympathy for the doctors, but they need to exert their authority directly instead of being wimpy about it if they really mean it

You know...if it's not in writing, is your housemate putting herself at risk of a charge of forced imprisonment?

That's just it, we're not keeping her here. She can leave.

She's walked outside to put out mail one night just to show folks rolls eyes

Right now, there's a feeling of fucked if we do, fucked if we don't.

Then honestly...yeah.

We let her go without trying to convince her, and she kills someone in car crash, well, I would blame B one hundred percent, but what would the law say? And yes, my housemates would feel guilty, at least some of us would (I might too, not sure)

but we can't hold her prisoner and lock her in her room (And we aren't anyway) either

wouldn't want to.

but honestly, with the stress that's piling on I think one of US will die before B does at this rate

I may be way off base, but does it seem like B is trying to make life miserable for you and SIL so she can have daughter all to herself?

Like, trying to get rid of both of you?

I don't know, she's so horrible TO her daughter. She always complains about her, trashes her, nd sometimes picks fights with her. We're talking a narcissist heading down Dementia so anything is possible

sigh I wish I could understand it.

oh, she can want daughter to herself so she gets ALL daughter's attention

doesn't matter if that attention is negative

I still don't understand it, Brekkers. hugs

you might both be right then.
