i mean, in all honesty, she's far enough gone to need a carer but they left her in her annex while they went on holiday and everyday about three times a day she would knock on our door and ask my dad, who works from home, if he knew where her son was. her son died thirty years ago and every time she came over he'd have to make her a cup of tea and listen to the same 20 minute conversation look until she went home. needless to say for someone who is trying to close a very big deal that has taken 2 years to broker the distraction wasn't terribly welcome. however, it was endured, hell even i looked after her once last week. so when they got back on saturday my dad popped round to suggest she may need help and told them what had happened during the week the woman responded 'god, i know, now you see what we have to put up with', which i though was bad enough. then she delivered the knockout 'we were thinking we should have her taken to a home but we couldn't afford to keep our house in corfu'
what. the. fuck.

I think it's safe to say I must never find out where you live, as I'll be beating the shit out of your neighbours.

Possibly ring age concern and see if them keeping her at home and leaving her for weeks at a time is counted as detrimental and whether the social services could get involved. It's up to you, I don't know.
