How to deal with older family when they are mean and insulting? Turn the other cheek?<br /> That said, I do think there should be some way of protecting the elderly from these predators.....mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03797484583400519909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34955137.post-49594325110879230652009-11-19T19:28:48.078-08:002009-11-19T19:28:48.078-08:00That is a tough job you are taking on!

They can be elderly, child, pet, or otherwise. Kudos to you for caring enough to step in, get involved, and follow it through to the end. So many people are content to turn a blind eye feeling they don't have the right to step in. Yes you do!! <br /><br />As you know, the whole communal family thing is near and dear to my heart and it sickens me to see our elderly tossed aside when the younger generation or society itself feels their usefulness has been fulfilled.<br /><br />You go girl!!<br /><br />Blessings ~ LeannLeannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928537274114663807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34955137.post-67991124083384310852009-11-19T16:18:07.734-08:002009-11-19T16:18:07.734-08:00Since we all hope to live that long, it's good...Since we all hope to live that long, it's good to have people like you on your toes.Anvilcloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974744042579564912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34955137.post-13110019235844590852009-11-19T14:44:57.853-08:002009-11-19T14:44:57.853-08:00It's heart-breakingly common.

Fortunately, that is still a matter about which reasonable people will disagree.<br /><br />Our elders are taken advantage of if they lack a regular network of family and friends who make a point of being present in their lives. Granted, many folks lose that network through (touching wood!) crankiness.<br /><br />We can try to cultivate attract qualities to avoid that ourselves -- or we can take careful stock of friends and family and hang around the good ones.<br /><br />I like what you are doing.Cecilio Moraleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05283375962527765787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34955137.post-86012289830236481262009-11-19T13:13:05.402-08:002009-11-19T13:13:05.402-08:00Chani,

The world we live in can be very dark.<br /><br />In my state, NC, there is a mother that sold her 5 year old daughter for a drug debt. The little one was subsequently killed.<br /><br />No wonder many of us have problems with depression.<br /><br />Then it's wonderful to come in contact with loving, caring, open people like you!AngelPnoreply@blogger.com
