My Great-Grandfather is getting sicker. My Grandmother who has been taking care of him called two nights ago saying that he didn't want to get out of bed and that she could hardly get him to eat. He has been sick for the past couple of months and my Dad has been trying to convince her that she needs to get a full time nurse there to help her care for him. She claimed that my Great-Grandparents wouldn't want anyone strange in the house so she refused to hire anyone to help her. When really, she just didn't want to spend the money to get him help.

She loves to call us and tell us how bad off he is but there has been weekends where we will call to check up on him and my Grandmother has mysteriously gone off on vacation with some of my cousins. Even though she claimed all this Christmas that she didn't even have enough money to even buy us anything for Christmas.

It's really beginning to piss me off that she is killing my Great-Grandfather. I know why she isn't paying for him to have help because she is too cheap and she wants to blame it on my family when he dies. She will turn my Great-Grandmother against us by saying that we refused to do anything to help. I can just see it happening and it scares the crap out of me.

I don't want my Great-Grandfather to die because I love him so much but I can see how she treats him. She is slowly killing him by making him so weak he almost can't function. He was fine until she started going to that crackpot doctor who changed his entire diet about four years ago. I hate my Grandmother for what she has done to him.

I cried about it on the way to work this morning. Right now everything seems so hopeless...

I really don't know what to do....
