Elder abuse or ???

Don't know what to do?

well as of March this year, family across street was approved to do Home care for me thru IHSS. problem is the daughter was one on record. i was awarded 20 hrs a month at that time. worked fine 1st few months, as convent and close.

I'm terminal w/HepC n a shut-in past 3 yrs so dire NEED care, well did physical and IHSS gave 44 hrs a month which I felt was great. The family would take me shopping for food IF i was able or they brought me stuff I needed.
problem is wasn't putting in but 3-4 hrs and kept saying they would, they just busy.

meanwhile august, the daughter brought a brand new puppy to play w/my dog as poor thing gets lonely when I'm i'll in bed. Was to be a playmate while she worked a job at taco stand in town. Now her dad n mom did all the work when they did work. and the gal never took the dog home one night, so i ask for food n whatever, well she brought huge bones, NOT food. and only one time she even took the pup for awhile.
so few months back, I say, "well guess the pup is mine, as you've never feed, played, provided for so now its mine". she said " Ok but when the breaders/friends come over they wanna visit it" I agreed.
meantime they all have problems, she 's pregant, quits work in town and dad had heart attack (stress) then son (brother 19) so far be it from me to demand much less absoluty necessity.

Things calmed some this last month so cpl times I tried to talk to them, saying they will start doin my work, and care more for me, and every times never happened, I even gave them a blank calendar so they track their hrs, not for my benifit as i know, but thought they would see they were only workin 3-4 hrs per week vs the 11 gettin paid for.

now im a total shut-in and a lot of time i'll in bed and they never once cleaned my toilet, or washed my dishes, yes a few times vacumed, cleaned out fridge and lots good stuff, BUT now dad gets mad when I told him i need to share those hrs with another person so i have help when i need it, and it will help them, as I never saw them weekends past 3 months or so. he right out refuses! Its ALL or nothing!!! well i was shocked, didn't know what to say. well they never came over so I called the other lady to come as i needed stuff. well Dad saw the lady here and got hot, later came over threw me keys said its over, and daughter went to snatch the pup outta my arms, after 5 months with me!, Sheriff gets called, 2 1/2 hrs later office came in 10:30pm and talked, then went across street n talked, now cause dads mad he LIED to the officer and said it was daughters dog. HURT OMG im so broken now from past devistation, its last lap and I dont need this stress.

make it really worse, since March, i've been giving then TONS of things, as i must get rid of all possible, I just ask to save my jewels n treasures and most precious things to me. I have no one for many years now, no family no kids, no loved ones, and being isolated I shut out the world when most couldn't deal with the death factor.
furniture, bedding, lamps, crystal, jewelry, crafts, kitchen appliances and TONS n tons stuff… and they just flat out took advantage of me

n LIED bout the pup i loved so dearly past 5 months 24/7 knowing that it will possibly devastate me!
I simply in so much grief, n shock i don't know what to do

im ssi low income and i paid/cared/boarded that baby/pup and I get this crap????
been trying to list some my old memories since childhood, on etsy and sold a few when i feel i can be active, then also they took stuff to mail, now i'll again, stressed to max and past week no help or anything so closed down site "vacation" mode till figure out next step?

also mom couldn't go on record as care taker as she not legal for another 2 yrs when daughter turns 21? beats me i havent a clue. They were like a family at first, even made me a 66th H/B eve with cake n baloons! Touched my heart. then to turn into vultures? or whatever … Victimised once again, can't handle or take any more.
life sucks and my only hope is that the Good Lord WILL take me home soon.

on my good days i use my brain productively as much as possible. Helps the stress level and my health as some my personal stuff has found good homes to be passed on. All the rest i care less about now and why giving to them to use or sell or whatever.. sad.
That pup was so needed n loved, gave my baby something to play with and also makes me get up and care for something, and get tons of love from something depending on me. I'm a basket case… im in SHOCK

"Deck of Cards"...

"Deck of Cards"

Red Solvine Vietnam

Wink Martindale 1959

Tex Ritter ram OLD

I ALWAYS THOUGHT THIS WAS A GREAT SONG OR VERSE, AND IT
IS ON RECORD BY FROM LONG AGO.

An interesting interpretation of a simple deck
of cards. This is a story about a soldier in the North
Africa Campaign in World War II. After heavy fighting,
the man returned to camp. The next day being Sunday,
the Chaplain had set up church service. The men were
asked to take out their Bibles or Prayer Books.

The Chaplain noticed one soldier looking at a deck
of cards. After service, he was taken by the Chaplain
to see the Major. The Chaplain explained to the Major
what he had seen. The Major told the young soldier he
would have to be punished if he could not explain
himself. The young soldier told the Major that during
the battle, he had neither a Bible or
a Prayer Book so he would use his deck of cards and
explained

"You see, Sir, when I look at the ACE, it tells me
that there is one GOD and no other.

When I see the "2," it reminds me that there are two
parts the Bible, the OLD TESTAMENT and the NEW
TESTAMENT.

The "3" tells me of the THREE TITLES (Father, Son and
Holy Ghost) of our ONE GOD.

The "4" reminds me of the FOUR GOSPELS, MATTHEW, MARK,
LUKE and JOHN.

When I see the "5," it tells me of the FIVE UNWISE
VIRGINS who were lost and that five were saved.

The "6" makes me mindful that GOD CREATED THE EARTH IN
JUST SIX DAYS and GOD said that it was good.

When I see the "7," it reminds me that GOD RESTED ON
THE SEVENTH DAY.

As I look at the "8," it reminds me that GOD
DESTROYED ALL LIFE BY WATER EXCEPT FOR EIGHT PEOPLE,
Noah, his wife, their three sons, and their three son's
wives.

When I see the "9," I think of the NINE LEPERS
that GOD healed. There were ten lepers in all, but only
one stopped to thank him.

The "10" reminds me of the TEN COMMANDMENTS
carved in stone by the hand of GOD.

The "JACK" makes me remember the Prince of
Darkness. Like a roaring lion, he devours those that he
can.

When I look at the "QUEEN," I see the BLESSED
VIRGIN MARY, MOTHER OF JESUS.

As I look at the last card, "THE KING," it
reminds me that JESUS IS LORD OF LORDS and KING OF
KINGS!

There are 365 spots on a deck of cards, and that
is the number of days in each year.

There are 52 cards to a deck and that is the
number of weeks in a year.

There are 12 picture cards and that is the
number of months in a year.

There are 4 different suits in a deck and that
is the number of seasons in a year...

And so, the young soldier then said to the
Major, "You see, Sir, that my intentions were
honorable. My deck of cards serves as my BIBLE, my
PRAYER BOOK and my ALMANAC."
A deck of cards should most importantly remind us that we need JESUS 365 days,
52 weeks and 12 months a year and that we should always
PRAY "4"others .

May you never look at a deck of cards the same
way. I know I won't.
