My sister and her husband have had to put his parents in a assisted living facility. They cannot take care of themselves anymore. Actually, Tom can but Carol can't and he resented having to take care of her. After all, she was the wife and she was supposed to take care of him.
He was a bully as a child. He bullied the servants. (must be nice to even have servants) However, he also bullied his wife most of her life. Now, he is angry because she had a stroke and she has diabetes and can't take care of herself. She is like a 5 year-old. He refused to get up in the morning and check her blood or give her the needed medications. Hence, the assisted living facility.
Now, he has "servants" again to bully. And he does. He makes demands. He is unreasonable and an SOB. The nursing facility called my brother-in-law and told them to find a new place to put them. They will not accept that kind of treatment.
Yes, he has been told and warned about his behavior. However, he feels that is what servants are for. He is paying them after all.
The doctor has said that he has reverted back to his childhood where bullying the help was acceptable. It is no longer acceptable and he is being thrown out of his facility. Now my brother-in-law and sister have to start the search all over again.
This is a huge problem. If children are allowed to bully when young, they are going to revert to it when they are old too. We really need to show children and their parents that this in not acceptable behavior at any time. We need the administration to set decent policies and follow through with them no matter what.
If the parents want to sue the schools, let them and pray they lose and learn a lesson. I am tired of giving in to parents because they can't do their job and teach their children manners and hold them accountable for their behavior.
Once a bully...always a bully. We have to stop the cycle now.
