One of the craziest and upsetting times in my life was when my family found out that my father in law who had Alzhimer's was left to alone in his home in Alabama while his wife had divorced him (without our knowledge) and was clearing out the house. When he was found, there were no food in the house, no food, no place to sit or lie in the house. He was abandoned.
Through going through the courts, we were able to find him a nursing home. While everything was going on, my sister in law was working with Kerri Kasem to introduce an adult children visitation bill which will allow adult children to visit their aging parent(s) when the spouse refuses visitation. It was six years this June, the bill was signed and later became a law.
Below is our meeting with Kerri Kasem and the governor of Alabama at the time.
