Scabbies/Very long but please help.
Well, I saw another post somewhat like this, And I have a few questions.
So, My dad is in a wheelchair from the shoulders down he will never be able to move. He's paralized. I live with my mom and he lives at his own house, But about 2 years ago are 50 year old cousin moved in, All she does is use him, She doesnt pay rent. And she uses his moeny for stuff. And she's not poor eother. Also, He has a call bell so that if he need something she can come up, Well one day he couldnt get his water and he became dehrated and he rang it and she ignored it. Now, When he gets sick its a bad thing. And, Now she's saying she has scabbies and she left another quad that she works for alone at night and he has seziuers. She says she got scabbies from his house, The guy got an extermantor and they found none. She still thinks she has it, And she always claims to be sick.
I really want her out of the house, If my dad gets sick, He ughh could go to the hospital.
Als, We have a really nice care worker who was a pregnat teenager who needs a home, And she WOULD come to the call bell and help him out.
Also my dad's diabetic and needs someone to be there for the call bell.
How do I get my cousin out of the house?Any ides.

I have a few suggestions:
1) Tell your mom and anybody else who can offer hands-on assistance to your dad--does he have any brothers or sisters or aunts or uncles or grandma or grandpa? You need to let everybody know this really concerns you and they should be concerned too. Are you in school? You should tell your guidance counselor for sure. (They love to feel needed & offer help!) Dont let this burden only be on you!!! It is a family affair.
2) Call your dads doctors and ask them to send someone to check him for scabies (look between toes and fingers and on the back for "trails" scabies are almost invisible, but they dig into your skin--an exterminator does not deal with scabies, a dermatologist does); and also look for any signs of neglect (like maybe bed sores?)
Does he have neighbors who know him and help? Ask them to call you if they hear or noitce signs of abuse/neglect. Then call a social worker. And ask your dad directly too if he feels like he is being used. I would also tell the cousin how you feel and that you are keeping tabs on her.
As for suggesting the pregnant teen, that is nice of you, but probably not a good match either. Sounds like your father needs a real professional care taker and some good neighbors and friends and family surrounding him.
For now, just try to get your dads family involved and make him a doctors appointment to check for 2 things: 1) scabies & 2) neglect.
Good luck.
