Our Journey of Healing
From his kids viewpoint, 24/7 advocating for our father for months and years, trying to help him as we battle the medical system for rights, his own Stockholm's syndrome, impending divorce, and trying to get criminal justice for his wife who continued to harass and abuse him (and us) day after day after day. Hear about our struggles as we navigate the challenges of elder abuse, financial abuse, domestic violence, and ultimately, his early death. Join us on this journey while we attempt to show some of the shortfalls of our current system.
The Cancer in our Family is dedicated to shedding light on the dark realities of elder abuse, spousal abuse, the reality of employees using their government positions to their advantage to avoid the consequences of crimes they commit, and to show the devastating consequences these irresponsible actions can have for people, like Mike, who are their victims. Through sharing personal experiences, raising awareness, and advocating for change, we aim to support victims and survivors and prevent future tragedies.
