Talking to acquaintance who's an older people's social worker. They said that in their opinion any older person whose adult children abuse them, for example by gaining control of finances and spending their money, or even hitting them, must have been a terrible parent. When I said 'Really? All of them?" they said " Yes" . I said something like 'are you sure, there must be exceptions' and reply was 'I don't want to discuss it further'.
AIBU to find this absolutely bizarre and frankly professionally sus? How can you safeguard people if you basically think they deserve it? No witnesses so I can hardly report them.
