Another Call from a Neighbor

Interesting.  The stepmonster apparently plead with one of their neighbors to stay over in the house last night because she was feeling unsafe.  That neighbor just called me, esentially, to say she's excusing herself from the situation, to which I gave a hearty HUZZAH.  The less friends, neighbors, and family enable them to stay in an unsafe environment, the quicker things will come to a head and they'll have to get out of there.  Another friend of theirs will be calling my father with the name of a home health care organization who can send someone over to take care of the stepmonster while she's alone and hopefully continue to come and help out when dad's back in the house.  We can all hope that'll be a first step towards getting them in to assisted living.   

Evidently, the stepmonster was hoping to be admitted to the hospital  yesterday, because she was feeling scared, etc. being alone in the house.  Makes me wonder if her fall and any resulting injury might have been self-inflicted.  Or she was falling down drunk.  Either way, she's not my problem, and this can't go on for much longer.

BTW, I'm being very frank with the neighbors about the situation, the 'rents addiction issues, and how angry I am about the whole situation.
