[@raejiisa4948]

If op died before his brother found him, the wife and mother would have gotten away with it. I think they deserve more than 8 years after what they did, and since op made a recovery due to the help of his brother and sister in law there is proof of his condition being effected by environment and it is ultimately a temporary or at the very least a condition that is treatable making the maltreatment from his spouce and mother in law even more offensive.

[@laurabenevelli6783]

Alicia and her mother were both completely horrible people. I took care of both of my parents when for the months before they each died from cancer. As far as I’m concerned they didn’t get a harsh enough sentence. You don’t “kick a dog when they’re down.” They should have been taking extra special care of OP and also making sure he went to physical therapy so his condition improved. I’m sure (if this story is real) the doctor would have prescribed PT. Everyone I have ever known who had a stroke, whether full or partial, went to physical therapy. They also had to maintain a healthy diet and take their medications religiously. They were also given instructions to try to avoid stress as much as possible. Her and her mother did 100% the opposite of this. I’m also surprised that the insurance didn’t cover, at least a part time, nurse or nurses aid to help care for him during his initial time home. There are a lot of holes in this story that make it hard to believe.

[@AzraelThanatos]

I've heard several stories of things like that happening there, essentially, the spouse decides that they'd be better off if the stroke victim died than deal with the situation and takes steps to make things worse there. One of my cousins (Once removed) kept suggesting things of that nature about my grandmother when she had a TIA...it took a few months but my grandmother recovered. It was a few years later when she had any real issues even living on her own, which was more due to a nasty fall while out that ended up with her in a wheelchair. That cousin is now in a rapid decline after a few strokes and is, probably, glad that her own immediate family isn't acting the same way.

@@AshenTech, I’m sorry to hear that… not that they got prison time but how they could have treated someone else like that. Personally, I could have never done that. I did everything I could possibly do for my parents before they died. It wasn’t because I felt obligated or anything like that but because I wanted to. They were my parents. I didn’t expect anything in return for it. They had raised me already. Initially they were both a little embarrassed with some of the care I had to give but I talked to them so they realized I had done this before as a CNA and even though I was their daughter they took care of me when I was young. I got them through it. I’ll never understand how or why people think that they can treat people that way. I’m just not made that way.

Absolutely heart-wrenching story!😭😭😭 I'm so relieved that OP's brother rescued him even though they'd been on the outs with each other previously because if Jude had held a grudge, OP probably would've eventually died out there on the streets. I'm also thankful that someone who was kindhearted befriended and cared for OP rather than further exploiting him. I just hope that at some point, Jude and/or OP went back later to find and help that "angel" of mercy get off the streets, too. The level of betrayal, abuse and grief OP suffered in such a short span of time was BRUTAL. It is overwhelming, devastating - and terrifying - to have people you love and trust turn on you with such disdain and malice. It's beyond reasonable comprehension for anyone to suffer that level of cruelty; yet, it happens far more often in our society than anyone wants to think or admit - especially to the elderly. It's way too easy to just throw people away nowadays. And no, the brother's actions were not over-the-top at all. IMHO the wife and MIL absolutely should've received longer sentences for all they did to and stole from OP. I sincerely hope they're required to pay OP some form of restitution as well. Glad OP is in better shape now.

[@summerdais325]

Unfortunately, caregiver abuse and neglect are far more common than one would think. Having witnessed these atrocities as a nurse, then as a granddaughter, and last but not least, having experienced them personally, I am horrified but not shocked that people so readily minimized blatant neglect and abuse. Is eight years enough? No. But, they often don't see prison time in such cases. The fact that they got 8 years says that this abuse and neglect were flagrant and malicious. The evidence had to be air-tight. I am very emotional about this. There's so much I want to say, but I can't. I'm glad he is much healthier and is healing from these horrors.

I’ve always had a complicated relationship with my parents. They weren’t the best of people, and they weren’t the best parents, but there was still a part of me that loved them. 2/18/21 is when my dad went into the hospital and we found out that weekend he had stage 4 metastatic colon cancer. He was in surgery that Saturday for hours, and I don’t think I had ever seen my mother cry that hard. Unfortunately our family cat passed that weekend as well, though I don’t think she would have wanted my dad to see her like that (one of those she was a pain in the ass but she was his pain in the ass). My mom helped him through the beginning of his cancer diagnosis and his treatments before she unexpectedly passed of a heart attack 3/7/22. My dad finally passed on 2/13/23. The last month of his life he didn’t have the strength to get out of bed (and before that his recliner). He had to wear diapers since he couldn’t control his bladder. As much as there were times when I absolutely HATED things he said or did and wished I had just cut contact, I could NEVER do what OP’s wife and MIL did. I had a hard time when my dad’s older sister was talking about putting him into a care facility for better care because I knew my dad just wanted to be at home

I'd had 2 severe TBIs. Rough recoveries, including 9 neurological issues. But I discovered, that my multiple recoveries gave me help in understanding stroke survivors, those with brain aneurysms. I'd seemed to have grown a great empathy with patients with neurological issues. I'd noticed that whenever my friends & I tried to leave my friend, recovering from aneurysm? She'd do everything she could, to stop us from leaving! She couldn't speak, wore adult diapers, was in a recovery facility. I gave her my new tablet, after loading a program for stroke victims onto it. Image to speak. Her family thought that I was initially up to something nefarious, because I draw, when nervous. But that night, she figured out how to use it, and after suffering for 2 weeks, she was able to tell them that the nurses pulled the curtains, ignored her, all night, because she couldn't speak, just cry! Yes, dirty diapers, same position for hours!! Yes, she used the tablet to tell them. When no one understood mom last year, I could. But then, I'd learned to lip-read at 5, when I had double -walking pneumonia, ears were plugged up, throat sore. Nearly died & couldn't hear for nearly a month clearly.

Removing parents photos, etc. & moving him to the basement!? That is just the tip of abuse! Deep dive & I am sure there was more than what he said... They certainly deserved what they got! Doesn't always happen in many cases.

[@susanleonka3115]

I think they deserved being put in prison. I was 65 years old when I went to the hospital. To find out why I couldn’t keep anything down. After 2 and 1/2 weeks later in the intensive care unit they found out both of my kidneys stopped working. Well they moved me to the regular part of the hospital. That’s when I found out that I couldn’t walk. My husband told the nurse to make sure they got me up every day. I only remember them doing it just 2 times. I really should have sued the hospital. They drugged me so much. Anyway now my husband takes care of me 24-7. He changes me and helps me get dressed. Makes my meals. He’s the best. I have a hospital bed.

[@jillianbetts4306]

I understand it is difficult to care for someone who can't care for themselves anymore, but that does not give them the right to literally abuse this person. When I was just 12 years old, my mom had a horrible accident in which she broke her back, both legs, and shattered both heels. She was in and out of hospitals for years, but eventually she learned how to walk again. Amazingly, she didn't need amputations despite one of her heels literally disintegrating and the other with half left at the accident scene.

For those questioning the details as far as the truth remember OP is relating his experience and he had some problem communicating, at least to extent he could not get the shelter to understand his problem verbally. So there's a lot about how he was discharged to home in the care of his wife. In order for that to occur there had to be a discharge evaluation AND many referrals to therapy and services. We have to cover our a$$. However, just because we recommend therapies and visiting nurses and social work assistance for financial applications it does not mean the pt and/or the caregiver will accept. But we have to make a plan and offer the help. And we have to document appropriate policy and procedure or lose our license.

[@TheGodfather101]

7 failed relationships. Single mother. What could go wrong?

[@Nikkimommyof4]

OP's wife and MIL deserve so much more punishment than what they got but I am so very glad OP is on the mend both emotionally and physically. Those were two evil women. It makes me so angry to hear about people being abused like that and then just tossed out on the street like so much garbage once they no longer serve a purpose.

[@tyffanypoudrier6610]

They deserve more than 8 years.

[@paxorra5528]

I was the person that had the stroke (age 29), my right side, could not speak, reading, writing, sight was effected too. Was parking my car, hit a truck, policeman wanted to take me to the drunk tank. From my children's headstart parking lot. the Principal, a couple of teachers, and the gal who's truck I hit (I worked with her at another school) argued and he called for an ambulance. (Took me to local hospital, they did a couple of tests, put me in to another hospital, thankgoodness!) I was land driven to a big city, the driver & my caretaker dropped me off in the middle of the ER. It was a long trip.. they needed bathroom break & coffee. One of the doctors saw me and tried to talk to me... I couldn't even write my name to tell anyone who I was. :( After a while the ambulance personal was back, the Doctor had some strong words with 'em. I was scared. (At that time I didn't know what happened to me... my body wouldn't work, and I didn't know I had a stroke at the time.) I still have aphasia when I speak if I am tired, and to this day I have trouble with understanding others speaking to me. I had a tumor that broke loose in my heart, to cause the stroke. I am in my 50's now. Just one day at a time. (some it is 2 steps forward, 1 step back. *sigh* even now.) Those 2 in the 'story', needed more time behind bars.

[@teristricklen2844]

Yes, wife & MIL didn't get what they deserved. To treat a disabled person that way & be cruel about it also?!! No, they deserved twice that punishment!!

[@cathyevans2160]

They deserved alot more than 8 years. The man had a stroke and was helpless and they abused him.

[@normpoulin6455]

They got off easy on 8 years. My wife has huntingtons chorea. She lost her job late 2021 and hasnt worked since because of her illness and cant drive now because of it. She cant cook because of fear she might start a fire. I have been caring for my wife full time since early 2022. And I work full time as well. She can still do basic care for her self at home. Like going to the bathroom and brushing teeth and showering. But she needs a cane to walk. Have installed rails every where to help her with getting around, in the shower as well. Still fighting SSA over disability tho. My wife was diagnosed with this condition before we got married. She didnt want to get married again (divorced previously) as she had a bad marriage before hand. When she saw how dedicated I was in researching her disease, she asked me to marry her. When I answered 'YES' to "in sickness and in health, till death do you part', I meant it. You have to be a sorry excuse of a human being to do something like this. People like that should not be allowed to procreate. They should be shipped off to an isolated island left to fend for themselves, like the people that they just abandon. EDIT: And I've still kept up with taking care of her since getting diagnosed with my own illnesses since 2022. I have MCTD (autoimmune), moderate sleep apnea, and fount out the past 2 months that i have become lactose intolerant. At this point its a running joke between me and her that we're now in a race. As huntingtons isnt the only diseases she's had to deal with. She is a breast cancer survivor and had back surgery and other things she had while growing up.

[@karenanderson8830]

I believe they should have gotten more than 8 years. Maybe it should be double that.

[@andrewmaughan1205]

Prison was too generous for Alivia & her mother. After what they did to OP while he was helpless, they deserve to have their brain stems destroyed with the claws of hammers, then discarded in a random dirty alley in a run down city. If they survive on their own, so be it, but if not, they got what they deserve.

[@lisat9707]

🤔. Prison yes but for 3 years. Then 50 000 hours of supervised community service in a homeless shelter and a nursing home laundrymat

[@airfobrat]

that b* got EXACTLY what she deserved. I watched my mother care for my grandmother following a stroke...I was a teenager at the time (now mid 30s) - but I saw the loving care my mother had. Hearing someone did that had me in tears just listening!

[@CaitlinFarar]

That’s murder through neglect. They should’ve gotten 25 years to life.

[@SmilingMatthew]

They deserved more than 8 years. I lived more than 10 years with a grandmother who had dementia so I am perfectly aware of the toll it takes. Nonetheless, 8 years in jail is still not enough

[@stevenwatsham5973]

It happens.. My wife left me while I was seriously ill.. The marriage vows count for nothing...

[@sandyr-w6906]

IMHO, ex-wife and MIL got what they deserved. Nobody deserves the treatment they gave to OP.

[@tanyabriggs8969]

I'm very experienced in caring for family members with not only physical but mental disabilities. AND I became a RN as a result of my experience caring for family members. I also am experienced in pt disposition at discharge. This is clear abuse. 8 years punishment? I see that as a just sentence for not only is it physical abuse it is torture AND fraud. There WAS services that was denied for home evaluation guaranteed. He could NOT be discharged to home in his wife's care without her refusing an evaluation. He was eligible for disability income and medical care. He was eligible for home health care, although it would not have been enough for all day, everyday. Not only did the wife drop the ball ...someone via the state dept of human services didn't follow up by scheduling home care eval and services referral that the hospital was required to make.

[@madhatter4743]

They deserve longer

[@CindyBrown-z4r]

I was a can in a nursing home and they did not deserve what they got they should’ve got 20 years instead.!!

[@bralinciameadows8015]

I can't believe his wife did that

[@sallymueller2024]

not a true story

[@maryh-w8647]

No I don’t think they deserved the 8 years. I feel they deserved many many more, at least 50 guilty for everything they did to him no chance of parole.

[@northernKaizer]

One thing i can tell you, my brother and i have had moments of not speaking. But if something like this happened to either of us, well we have a saying...you cross one of us, you cross both of us. Love my little brother, and im glad we both have amazing wives

[@debrh.b]

I think she deserved the sentence , she was beating him and everything . Also putting him in a homeless shelter and basically stealing his house .

[@gailgilmour-lim9127]

8 years wasn't enough.

[@kalmingkhaos5932]

They deserved what they got and possibly more. If the wife would have cared more for her husband and spoke to his doctors she would have likely found out that they could have gotten help from the state/country they lived in. He could have had a live in nurse or at least someone to stay with him and help him do his day to day care for the majority of each day. But she didn’t even care to try and find help for him. Just took him home and treated him horribly, I’m so glad they didn’t have children because if she could treat a defenseless person like that then I wouldn’t put it past her to neglect and/or abuse an innocent child. For myself children, the elderly and animals all need protection and help because they cannot fully take care of themselves. If you can be that horrible to a disabled person then I wouldn’t put it past you to harm a child or an animal.

[@michaelaldredge-greenwell1692]

That nut job had 7 failed relationships with guys BEFORE you met her😳😳?? THAT should’ve been an INSTANT red flag, right then and there!! 7!!

[@jamesboothjr8783]

Whatever happened to the guy that took care of in the homeless shelter I think I gave him a home at least one of the rooms and I'm glad it worked out for Opie very very sad times

[@Raggmopp-xl7yf]

8 years wasn't nearly enough time for what they did. He didn't say how long it was for, but for all we know it was years, especially how his care deteriorated over time. Plus, there were so many things they could've done to get help for someone who obviously needed trained assistance. Instead they neglected and tortured that poor man. And if that wasn't enough, they abandoned him? To a homeless shelter? Why not "abandon" him at a hospital?

[@perfectlyimperfect9129]

Losing someone that you love so much. Is it devastating thing and if you love? Your partner you will be there through thick and thin and not everyone runs at the first sign of problems. You may have handle that wrong with the drinking and the hurtful things that you said. But your wife should have been the one to stand by you , As long as you Weren't going to remain that way forever( The drinking I mean) No one can say how long is too long for someone to grieve. The fact that you still made excuses for the way she treated you shows that You really did love her.. Her and her mother are evil terrible people !! You should have called someone because they were abusing you in your own house And where was your brother this whole time? I don't care that you said things out of grief and anger to him. He should have been there for you the same as your disgusting wife!! I am so sorry that all is happened to you, I have enough finished the story yet but I really do hope that those two witches got what they deserved.I WOULD NEVER EVER TREAT AN ANIMAL THE WAY THEY TREATED YOU !! Obviously never treat a person that way either. Heartless and they deserve nothing! They need to be imprisoned for life or under it either one's good with me !! They deserved longer than eight years In prison !! So glad that his brother came looking for him !! And he has a recovered from his partial stroke.

[@razrramonel4077]

I was surprised when both of my cousins were both killed (Before CoVid-19) and because of this they were memorialized by the Hardin County Sheriff's Office.

[@tracygardner6318]

It smells like old people what a horrible thing to say to someone, especially who’s loves both their parents and parents who are nice to his wife and cared about her

[@francesbousks3229]

They deserved a life sentence

[@Nasir_selfmade]

Op was a idiot for the way he blamed his brother and drove himself to become like that luckily his brother came through in the end cause if he didn’t really care he would’ve be stuck like that

[@elainehendrickson3779]

They deserved longer than 8 years!!
