Whatever Lola wanted, Lola got, and that specifically included liquor and men. Lola is an incredible octegenarian, a world traveler, bon vivant, who has lived in several countries and had a fabulous life with her husband who died about 20 years ago. Her family hired me to try and break those two habits previously mentioned.
Her 50 year old boyfriend took one look at me and took off with everything nhe could get his hands on. I had him tracked down by private investigators working with the police and we eventually got some of the monies back and had the satisfaction of sending him to jail for criminal elder abuse (financial) and fraud. If he were to show up on Lola's doorstep tomorrow, she'd invite him in.
The next steps were extremely hard for Lola because we forced her into the toughest alcohol rehab we could find and forced her to claw her way out of it. She made it to subsequently easier rehab stints and finally today she is alcohol free. She has 24/7 live in help and we all keep our eye on her looking for signs of recidivism.
Although Lola freely credits me with saving her life, in truth it was her daughter who faced up to the harsh reality and saw through her Mom's nonsense and made it all happen. Wherever Lola goes and she goes to quite a few places (even 7 day cruises) she remains the life of the party. She's everybody's favorite and if you're down in the dumps, she'll cheer you up. She may tell you the same story every 6 minutes, but I can guarantee it'll be a charming one.
I'm really pleased with my Lola (a work in progress). She's living a wonderful life. Opera, Theatre, Luncheons, Dinners, Movies. Short term memory loss (resulting from alcohol) doesn't stop her. She's great and likes her life as it is today.
