Thank you for responding. What a heart-wrenching story of blackmail. Rather than offering a little human kindness and comfort to your suffering mother when she most needed them, her unfeeling neighbors turned on her as a pack of wolves ousts the weakest member of the pack. Their turn will come. I’m so sorry you were forced to make a decision to put her in a home or be reported to the all-powerful Elder Abuse Authority who may or may not sided with you and your choice to keep her with you.
