I spend too long reading through statistics and trying to pick out lies from truth. It feels good to read something written from the heart without a hidden agenda, and to get a glimpse behind the numbers to hear what this has meant to you personally.

Thank you! I posted this because I feel like we need to broaden the conversation about rights vs risk, particularly for the elderly. My dad has no rights anymore simply because he is old. I now think he should have the right to live -- or not live -- the way he wants to. I feel terrible that wasn't my mindset a year ago when he was first forced to Assisted Living. Edit: I guess what I am trying to express is that we need to demand a re-evaluation of the definition of what "for your own protection" means, and who gets to make that determination.

I could not agree more emphatically with this! "for your own good" has been the mantra of every abuser ever.
