I don't want to tell you what to do , but make sure you have someone other than the state to be your advocate/guardian, like written in a legal document, notarized, the whole thing. My grandmother, who surely had some form of mental illness her whole life, left no will or anything. When she was placed in a pysch hospital at age 79 after being hounded by state social workers, unknown to us, they drugged her with meds that are not supposed to be used with older people. I'm glad that she had at least some strength to slap the doc. Since she was likely ill her whole life, along with us, we assumed it was just her personality coming through with the vicious phone calls. She ended up calling the police on the social worker, and threatened to shoot herself if the woman did not leave her alone. We still can't understand why they never attempted to get a hold of family. This type of harassment of her apparently went on for months. We lived out of state, and the family was used to this kind of talk from her, from everyone really. Well, it sent the state into full force, and they took full control of her. We actually believe that they run some sort of crooked operation where they take incapacitated, vulnerable people's money in this state. We attended a hearing to try to get guardianship, but it was too late. The state had their claws on her, and were probably after her property and assets. We got a lawyer, and tried to obtain guardianship, and were gonna get her back to our state into a good home. Afterall,she had worked for that money to have care when she could no longer care for herself. Instead, the state put her in a hellhole nursing facility where they denied a relatively simple surgery that could've saved her. She died from not getting that surgery. Nurses laughed at her because she thought that she worked there, or lapsed into childlike states thinking her parents were coming to get her. It was horrible. It was one of those things that you get caught up in a whirlwind of Twilight Zone scenarios, and you don't even know what to do before it's too late.
