I moved in with my parents approximately five years ago to take care of them. I left my children and family, and they were fine with it. I moved into their home and have been there 24 seven caretaker, I believe that they are with my brothers, but he never found the papers. That being said on April 16 my father had a stroke. upon discharge, my brother took my parents to a different home, and I've seen him one time since then. He had his daughter file for guardianship saying I was abusive, taking their money, etc. He turned my parents against me while. My mom my dad have dementia. The court appointed attorney for my dad says the same thing, I'm only here for money and I didn't call 911 for him, which I did. Five family members are in on it. It's like a little cult. I called Aps on numerous occasions, did everything I could I have a lawyer I was able to get my niece partial guardianship with a guardian inlitem, Hopefully things will change. I just want to see my parents.

You do not seem to have a question for us.
I am really sorry this happened to you. You don't seem to have a question for us, which is good because really, this is a court action about which we cannot know either side, and must trust that the court will do it's best to come up with a good choice. Sadly, when families go to war over elders, it not only is very sad for the elder, but the courts themselves are put in the role of acting as the Bible's King Solomon and trying to split the baby. For that reason they often have the state take guardianship.
If that happens I would allow it, I would fully cooperate, I would say I did my best and would apologize for shortcomings they found in my care. In that manner I would hope to be able to have visitation rights with my elder/s, even if short or if accompanied by someone.

You say that you left your children and your family 5 years ago. In my own personal opinion you should have considered obligation to the family you created as your first obligation. If they are willing, perhaps you can return more near your family now and mend fences that may have come down during your long caretaking journey.
