Mysteriously, Adult Protectice Services showed up at the mother’s door this week. I happened to open the camera when I saw someone had set of the Ring motion detector, and there was a social worker. My mom turned him away, saying she was “fine, thank you” and has “people who are helping” her.
He seemed very nice, and on the one hand, if someone is worried about her, I am glad they’re trying to get her some support. At the same time, I can’t help but feel quite suspicious of the vengeful caregiver I had hired and rapidly had to fire who had been extremely unpleasant and threatening to me. My mind has been racing with some paranoia around that or whether someone I know might think I’m not doing enough for my mom.
I tried to call APS to inquire about what was reported but couldn’t get ahold of anyone, at least as of yet.
On Christmas, a police officer came to my mom’s house to “check on her,” which was also quite mysterious. She had been worried about a friend, Paula, who she speaks to on the phone every morning so it’s possible she called the police in her worry, though that seems uncharacteristic. Or someone else called them- this was before the vengeful caregiver. Anyway, maybe one day I’ll get some answers, but I must admit that it’s frustrating wondering.
