I am upset about how my grandma is being treated: Advice?

Hey everyone. I’m looking for guidance here. TIA. My grandmother has raised me and provided not only for me but for my whole family since I was born. She’s, of course, older now, after a divorce with my grandfather a few years back, so she is alone basically in terms of a living situation. She has a house that she has been paying for/owned for ten years now. My father has always been a drug user/etc. But always stuck to her and lived with her because she gave him money, let him use her car, etc. and could never bring herself to kick him out. Fast forward to 2019; my father had a baby with a girl (almost 20 years younger than him might I add. he was also a young dad to me but still.), and since she gave birth, she’s been taking over the house. She thinks she runs the house now, and my dad plays along with it, saying he owns the house. Well, that has pissed me off, but I’ve recently learned (meaning 10 minutes ago) that my grandma has been staying at her friends houses telling me she’s “taking care of the houses” while they’re away, but I saw her one friend at the store this morning, so I know she isn’t away or on vacation. I also learned not only that, but when my grandma does go home to stay there, they make her sleep in a cot on the FLOOR while they took over her master bedroom. I am beyond LIVID right now, and I don’t know how to approach my dad because he is a ticking time bomb, so I don’t want to cause a huge fight or anything. He doesn’t use anymore, and he’s working, but still. He doesn’t pay anything for the house! Does anyone have any advice on how to approach this and also support my grandma in all of this?

This is one of those things where you grandmother is going to have to step up and put her foot down. This treatment will continue until she no longer allows it! It’s obvious that neither respect her and that he clearly takes advantage of her love for him. If your grandma and grandad are still cordial towards each other, I might would go talk to him too and say hey this is what is going on and see if maybe he can talk to your dad. When this was my dad and his girlfriend, I made my grandparents go down to the courthouse and file an eviction notice. This gave them 30 days to find somewhere else to go! They thought it was a joke, and at the end of 30 days nothing still had changed, so we called the police and escorted them out and my grandfather and I packed up all their stuff and sat it on the porch for them. They were livid and called us the worst possible names ever… but I did not care. While this hurt my grandma, she knew it was best. We kept telling her that until she made them take care of themselves they would continue to take advantage of her and treat her like trash and she has done her part in raising and taking care of him and now it was time for him to take care of himself. We went the legal route because the law cannot get involved with civil cases in my state. So if we would have just called them to come make them leave they couldn’t and of course it cut down on some of the backlash!

Call Adult Protection Services in your local municipality immediately and set up an appointment that your father and his new baby momma know nothing about. Make sure grandmas cot is out and tell her under no circumstances is she to lie to protect your father and his actions. Let them know if they need to bring the police with them it’s fine and they should be immediately removed. Oh before you do that have grandma start an eviction process and file ASAP so they don’t scream squatters rights. A formal eviction vacates that claim. Good luck praying :pray:t4: for you and grams.

Elder abuse is a real thing. And their are agencies that deal with this directly, and can lead to criminal charges. Im a social worker. Financial abuse is very common among the elderly. If you want to let me know the area you live in, id be more than happy to search for an agency that can help with this.

Something is off here besides the obvious. I am scared that your Dad may have found her deeds and forged her signature to sign the house over to him or made her do it. I would personally sneak around & ask my Grandmother s friends what they know about the whole situation and why she is staying with them some. I would talk to Grandma away from Dad & his thing. Then I would go to Grandma house like a permanent fixture and be sneaky & nosy & gather all the information and insight you can get. Then call Elder Protection Services and / or a Attorney if she hasn’t signed the house over get her to give you Power of Attorney (your Dad may have beat you to it- might be how he is controlling Grandma). Get Help for her ASAP after you gather every ounce of info and proff you can get. Take pics , take Videos. Get everything possible to prove your Grandma is being taken advantage of. Good Luck & I wish the Best for her & you.

The 1st thing you need to do is talk with your Grandmother. Make sure you know exactly what is going on on every level, how they are treating her, financially, everything she is paying. Let her know how wrong this is and how much it hurts you. If she wants them out but can not do it let her know that you will but you need power of attorney to do it. Ask her how she feels about it. If she is ok with it get it done ASAP! And take care if buisness. Just make sure you never abuse it. Keep her informed every step of the way.

You need to get your grandmother to sign you into the house and then kick his ass out. There might be an elder abuse group she can attend. Heck theres probably an elderly abuse group here on Facebook that will be full of suggestions. She needs your help.

Speak up !! Staying in silence is enabling them to abuse her!!

Turn him in for elder abuse. You can remain anonymous. If he questions it, let him know your not the only one who sees the problem here.

Show Dad who’s the real man. You sounds like you’re the dad and he’s the son. Have your dad to learn responsibilities and go take care of grandma.

Maybe get some other family members that agree with u n call a family meeting n say too them in low tone in your voice we/you are concerned that your grand mothers old n when she is at home needs her room n privacy n can NOT sleep any where else as she cant get down too lower herself onto cot n besides everything else it is her house n she needs too have her own room back for her health … u can only try this but make it known that she needs her own house at this age n time in her life n now

If she’s willing, I’d have her sign everything over to you and fight it for her. I’m basically going through the same thing with my grandma. My POS cousin is mooching off of her and moving all kinds of trash in. She doesn’t want him there but doesn’t want to put him on the streets. I have begged her to put the house in my dad’s name and let him do the dirty work but she refuses. I know how much it hurts you, but you can’t help people who refuse your help! I’m about to the point of having my grandma evaluated for memory deficits and force a takeover of the estate. She’s losing her mind with him there!
