That's the truth, Phillipa. I suppose there's nothing to do about it, except die. And while I reserve that option if things get bad enough, it's not nearly bad enough at this point. So I do need to shake this off and just keep moving on.
Someone I know told her mother she was taking her for a visit to her home across the country. Then put her in a home. When she kept trying to escape, they saw it as a sign of her senility. Hello? Kidnapped and incarcerated against her will? Trying to escape was a sign of sanity, IMO. She died not long after...
I'm not saying they are bad for everyone. I know they aren't. I know of cases where it was entirely voluntary. But not for an anxious and solitary person like me. My goal was always to be the crazy dog lady. A suburban hermit.
