Thanks for the support and insight. My m0m is by all accounts physically healthy and able. She refuses to leave the house unless it's s0mething imp0rtant like a baptism. Also, she has disrespected my father's wish to be placed next to my brother. He's STILL in the lounge for petes sake! She said in the beginning that she can't be alone, her behaviour's just getting worse, it's like she won't let either of us leave. I want to scream! Btw she refuses ANY type of proffessi0nal help...
