DEAR ANNIE: I am a 67-year-old mother and grandma. Due to health reasons, I had to move in with my daughter and her family. My daughter’s significant other will go out and get food for everyone in the house but brings back nothing for me.
I pay the rent and some of the bills because they can’t afford to. I get so frustrated, and I am so tempted to move out, but I know I need help as I can’t stand a long time to cook anything. I have trouble walking and must use a cane. I am scared to leave the house because of this. Losing your independence is frightening. Any suggestions? -- Lost and Confused
DEAR LOST AND CONFUSED: What a bizarre thing for your daughter’s significant other to exclude you from meals -- especially when you’re helping to support the place they call home. At its most innocent, it’s an oversight on their part. At its most calculated, it is intentional neglect that might fit into the category of elder abuse. Put together a list of food and other items you’d like to have when it’s time to shop and run errands so your preferences and needs are clear. And don’t shy away from discussing it with your daughter directly.
