A:
If your mother is physically and mentally unable to take care of herself, you may be able to intervene in her travel plans, especially if her health or safety is at risk. You could consider having an honest conversation with her about your concerns, stressing how important her well-being is. Sometimes, when family members are deeply worried, it can help to explore alternative solutions, like planning a safer trip or having someone accompany her.
If you feel her condition makes her travel too dangerous, you may want to look into legal options that could temporarily restrict her from traveling, especially if her decision-making ability is compromised due to her stroke. This might involve seeking legal advice on her rights and the rights of family members in this situation, as laws differ depending on your location.
In any case, it’s essential to act quickly if you believe her health is at serious risk. Seeking advice from medical professionals familiar with her condition can also guide you on how to handle this situation.
