Only time I had it happen was when I caught the home care person abusing my mom when she was dying of cancer. After she had OD 'ed my mom on her morphine & I had the ambulance transport her to the hospital, I talked to the hospital about making sure she was safe. Security suggested having her there under an alias.
Her BF (my mom was 80 at the time & unaware of what was really going on around her) & his daughter were associated with the home care person. The BF found her in the hospital & was in her room with her pastor when I came in the next morning. I had security escort them out as the pastor told me to back off or my past (depression) would come back to haunt me. I just told him where he could stick it & stood my ground. Never regretted standing up to him. Tough because the traumas I went through dealing with the home care person the previous 5 days actually created PTSD in the long run.....but standing up for & protecting my mom was actually a step toward recovery even if it didn't feel like it at ths time.
