OP
March 16, 2025 at 1:54 amI have tried to make everyone totally ignore what she says. I and my mom can do it but the others cannot. They try but they end up being affected eventually.We tried to take her to therapists and doctors way back. She went like once or twice, then did not go or take their prescribed medicines, saying that they are trying to kill her.
She does not have any vulnerability that we would take advantage of. Dad’s parents did not own any property owned in the first place, and whatever little they did own, my dad did not get any share or wants anything material from her. We just want to live in peace.
As to doing activities her, I’m sorry to say but I despise to even talk to a person who does such vile actions. I want to have nothing to do with her outside of what my responsibility is of providing for her needs.
After all this my father was not able to sleep well last night and is experiencing slight ache at heart(probably due to stress) and has somewhat high pressure (130-85) which is not in dangerous territory for him. I will take him to a cardiologist later in the day regardless. He asked my grandparents to go to their home for the time being for things to calm down(they won’t) and my mom is also very sad and stressed that they had to go.

March 15, 2025 at 6:47 pmThank you for your insights, it has cleared up a lot of things. I will absolutely get on with documenting everything. Is their a legal way to make proceedings such that if I can rent a cheap place nearby, keep househelpers to handle the small household tasks like cleaning house and clothes for her. And if we also take care of her food requirements and medicines. That way she will not be able to cause abuse and if she denies the proposition then it will prove her having ill intentions. Or will this still count as throwing off a dependent senile person legally. I cannot make the above changes very soon due to financial reasons but it might be something I can do eventually.March 15, 2025 at 6:23 pm in reply to: I have a very verbally and mentally abusive grandmother and I cannot do anything about it. #34655QQuickshankar4149

March 15, 2025 at 6:23 pmI understand her not being in family is not an option. She would have financial dependency on us to survive. We have set boundaries multiple times and told her we are not gonna tolerate this behaviour, but what other option do we have if she does not maintain them. She probably knows that legal action would most likely be favourable to her as she’s old and on the first glance and behaviour would seem harmless to anyone who doesn’t know her. Documenting the events that happen from now on video/audio is something I can try my best to do from now on, can you suggest any ways I can use them to take action against her.
I’m a male, so only my mom can take legal option as per your mentioned then, which I highly doubt I can make her to but I can try regardless. Maybe with mine and dad’s support she will be willing to.This very much feels like a losing battle to me. Seems very unfair yet cannot do anything.

March 15, 2025 at 6:00 pmNot directly, I have somewhat thick skin to not bother if she says bad of me. But I do feel like shit when people I care of are sad, which makes me think I’m not taking action to prevent this, if that makes sense.March 15, 2025 at 5:43 pm in reply to: I have a very verbally and mentally abusive grandmother and I cannot do anything about it. #34651QQuickshankar4149
