[QUOTE="Worndown68, post: 766500, member: 28726"] I’m in Pa, just outside Philadelphia. It’s close to my doctors bc I have SLE and EDS. I have pt 2x a week and endeavor to walk outside as much as possible, my easy child recommended I get another dog (he knows my situation and my kids since they were 18) so I rescued a little puppy, or we rescued each other I guess! I have had a long conversation with one daughter this morning, she is in an abusive relationship but refuses to reach out to get help. When I went to a hospital for an injury I was asked if it was domestic abuse, I don’t understand why nobody is asking her? She has an appointment with a trauma surgeon tomorrow. It was last week and I drove 2/12 hours down to drive her, but she had left with the abuser and then the appointment was canceled because of snow. Now she wants me to do it all again tomorrow but I am not able to. I have an appointment myself tomorrow plus finding someone to look after my puppy again wouldn’t work as her appointment is at 8:30am. I advised her to call the doctors office while he is out all day and explain that if she has a man accompanying her tomorrow, that he is the person who re fractured her already damaged leg. She won’t call 911 when he hits her, she just calls me? He threatened to kill me years ago if I ever showed up. But she was much calmer by the end of our long conversation, I think she uses me to vent to. I don’t think she has any friends , over the years she has used friend, really good friends who have tried to help her. I asked her if she has a medical portal with her surgeon that I can look at as I can’t take her this time. But whenever I suggest something sensible and practical she just goes nuts and says I don’t care? I care so much but I don’t have a magic wand, and I am not physically strong enough to haul her stuff around. I offered her an Uber. Of course she wasn’t happy with that suggestion. [/QUOTE]
