On my mind this morning: Is guardianship the ultimate "enabling" act? When someone is incapacitated, a legal standard up to the judge to decide but essentially based on professional medical opinion, he is incapable of taking care of himself. Why would this be enabling? Struggling with this because my sister wants me to have our B declared incompetent but unless the county prosecutor does an involuntary civil commitment they only way would be for a family member to petition for guardianship. It may just well be "enabling" as it would continue the cycle of rescuing, controlling outcomes, and take responsibility for him when he should be taking responsibility for himself. But if he is incapacitated, how can he??????? UGH!
