Hi all
I used to steal all Dads money and Justin used to steal Dads tools. Even when shown the offending items Dad just used to claim that he'd spotted me putting them back.
Dad stopped being able to understand his bank accounts quite a few years ago to the point where he drew everything out so that he could count it all and I had to cope with the resulting mess of unpaid direct debits, snotty letters etc etc etc. When we cleared Dad's house out to move him a couple of years ago we found nearly £2,000 stashed away in teapots, books, between the pages of books, all over the place, even behind the gas meter in the shed. I shudder to think how much we threw away. We were prepared this time and found £4,700 stashed away in various places. It's all now residing safely back in the bank though Dad has little need for it in the care home and now seems to have forgotten all about his money.
He also forgot how to work even the simplest of things and always blamed me when he couldn't get them to work. He developed a fascination for unplugging and unwiring things aswell and still blamed me. I just got to the point where I would grit my teeth, grin and wire it all back up again knowing full well that it would all be undone again the next day.
Oh well, I don't need to worry too much about it any more but yes it is all so sad, and extremely worrying that at some point an injury might happen as a result.
