    Thumbs down My uncle is a mooch

    He's been borrowing money from my grandma forever and last month she couldn't pay her bills. She has over 500 a month in just medications not to mention rent and everything else. Luckily, my mom and aunt stepped in to help her out. Still, my aunt and mother give my grandma money yet she lets my moocher uncle "borrow" money he never pays back. She even lies to my mom and aunt that she already paid her bills and everything is ok. My mom went to recently visit her and the cable turns off right when she gets there. I don't know why she lies.

    This irritates me to no end. My uncle handles some of her finances making sure her bills get paid. Well, he's not taking care of it anymore. This, just in this year, has gotten to be too much. I don't care that she gives away her money to him as long as all her finances are in order.

    I do realize that my grandma is depressed and is an ex-smoker (finally after 50 years). She uses an oxygen machine and can't go outside on hot days; also, she doesn't drive anymore. So her quality of life isn't optimal. I don't expect her to go skydiving but her limitations are mostly physical.

    Eh what can my family do?

    I live in the Los Angeles area but Adult Protective Services (APS) is a statewide program. I once worked for a large hospital where I made several calls to APS over the years because I was a mandated reporter. In my experience, it's doubtful your uncle would be prosecuted, but APS could at least call him on his shit & set some boundaries.



    Adult Protective Services (APS) is a State-mandated service program which investigates situations involving elders (age 65 or older) and dependent adults (physically or mentally impaired 18 - 64 year olds) who are reported to be endangered by physical, sexual or financial abuse, abandonment, isolation, abduction, neglect, or self-neglect. Any endangered elder or dependent adult is eligible for APS without regard to income.
