My aunt has alzheimer's disease. I care for her with the help of my mother. My aunt has a son who is 28 years old and had to evacuate from the mountains in California during the fires we had in October of 2007. He was living with his father at the time and had to evacuate to our home because there was not enough room where his father and step-mother went during the ordeal.
When his father and step-mom went back up the hill they said that he could not move back. Since then, there have been several times when he has become physically violent, shoving people into walls, breaking glass, throwing heavy objects at people. He is mentally unstable and will not keep up on his medication. He does not have a job and will not make any effort whatsoever to find one. Every time we have a problem with his behavior we feel like we are walking on egg-shells. Also, every time that he has "an episode" it upsets his alzheimer's mother to the point where she goes into a very detrimental state of depression/anxiety for sometimes as long as a full day or two.
We feel as if we are prisoners in our own home. We cannot say, or do what we want, or live the normal lives that we want to for fear that it will set him off. We want him to leave, NOW, but do not know how to proceed.
What do we need to do to get him to leave? We are afraid that hewill lose his temper and get violent with us when we tell him. Do we call the police? do we actually have to go through legal eviction proceedings? Can anyone help us?
