Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
A bit of a hell day here - have a situation going on in the extended whanau that’s coming to a head. My mother is coming out of it as the ‘bad guy’ when all she’s trying to do is protect her elderly Mother’s assets from being pillaged by my Aunts and Uncle. It’s horrible to see what money (or lack thereof) can do to what was a close family. It’s like something out of a bad soap opera. Mum’s a mess :(
That’s pretty shit. Might be worth a call to the Office for Seniors? https://officeforseniors.govt.nz/our-work/raising-awareness-of-elder-abuse/elder-abuse-response-service
They might be able to point you in the direction of elder abuse support services.
It is, it’s despicable and deplorable behaviour. We’ve got Age Concern involved, but great to know there are other avenues there as well. Unfortunately it’s looking like it’s largely going to go through lawyers now.
That sucks. I hope it all gets sorted.
Cheers, me too
