My father's money paranoia is as bad as ever. This morning I searched his room and his wallet while he was in the shower. I have taken everything I could find that looked official, and also taken his 'new' bank card. He'd been there again telling them he wants money, but of course he doesn't know how to get it and he had hidden his last bank card- I found it in one of his drawers, along with the sheet telling him his pin number. Anyway, I know most of the things I have taken he won't notice are gone, but now he's wandering around the house telling me he's lost the little 'thing' he needs. I've explained to him it's okay, he doesn't need it. I've told him repeatedly he doesn't need money as I buy everything for him. I've even, in a moment of exasperation, told him I've taken it as he is more at risk with it than without. Of course that isn't going to help because in his head I am the one that has stolen his money. Now I have to figure out a way to stop him obsessing over this too. Previously people here have suggested that I have his account frozen while I wait for my LPA to come through, but we're in the middle of sorting things with social services and I think that may just complicate matters. I just hope this stops him doing anything dangerous. I'd love to know if anyone's got any good tips on distracting him from this obsession. I'm not sure how much more of his suspicion I can take.
