    I was so angry this morning but have calmed down a bit now. Long story short. A friend has an adult son who still lives with her. She's disabled and a pensioner. And he's vile. Financially and emotionally abusive. Bone idle, won't work, spends all day playing computer games.  And has the nerve to call himself her carer ! She called in this morning and was close to tears again.  We've been here before many times, eighteen months ago I threatened to report him. Came very close. I believe she has a social worker but I don't know how much the social worker knows about her real home situation. 
    Anyway this morning. Me and she are sitting in my front room and she rang him to ask something. I told her I wanted to speak to him. And,by jingo, I did! I don't think he liked it very much when someone bit back! Never bothers him when he's screaming at his mother. 
    If my legs still worked I'd be more than happy to go to their house in person. I'd eat him alive! My friend gets upset whereas something like this makes me angry. And her son is really pushing his luck.  
    There's only the two of them at home but I've now got her sister's phone number so will give her a ring in a bit.  See if she's got any ideas. I've told my friend that if she ever feels in physical danger she's to ring the police. 
    As I said to my friend, I will work in your best interests. I'll see what her sister comes up with. I don't know if she knows how bad things are
     I'm sorry for venting, it's been one of those mornings.

    @birdwatcher

    Sorry I don’t have much advice or time to type this very well as just about to go for an appointment 

    But I totally understand as something very very similar happened with my Mum and Brother, the only difference was brother wasn’t a carer for her, more the other way round

     Need to go now but just wanted you to know I think you’re not alone

    @birdwatcher sounds an awful situation for your friend 
    @ada it's probably best to get the results so they can do things going forward

    I'm definitely agreeing with Beaver and Sandy here @Ada I think it's important you speak to them, even if you don't really want to, which is totally understandable, I hate talking on the phone, but sometimes needs must, plus it'll be over before you know it. Have a think about it anyway, we all like having you around and would like that to continue for many more years.  :) 

    (And yes, I just call it "My brain going a bit wonky" haha)

    That sounds like a horrible situation @birdwatcher but thank you for being a good friend and looking out for them. I'd suggest contacting the local authorities if you feel they're in an unsafe situation with their carer/son.

    @ada I can understand why you turned the phone off. For me I don’t use the phone but even with emails and stuff just reading the reply is too much so I avoid it, sometimes. I hope you manage to get things sorted soon, good luck

    Hi guys I'm feeling wobbly and worried after a phone call to my partner from his gp. Gp said he was referring him to a specialist as his iron levels were low consistently and not to worry.

    My partner gets really nervous on the phone and didn't tell him I switched him from ferrous sulphate tablets to ferrous gluconate liquid as I thought he couldn't absorb that form of iron. This was last year and anaesthetist in presurgery checks agreed with me.

    He stopped taking it unknown to me and iron levels are low again. Gp ordered rightly tests to detect blood and all negative. 

    I was in loo and didn't get speaking to him so wrote it all down and dropped it to the surgery. Hope he doesn't take it the wrong way but I have a bad feeling and can't stop shaking. Haven't we had enough? Hope gp calls us back. Sorry for long post.
