A relative of mine is clearly struggling. They live on their own in total isolation in the middle of nowhere. They have cut off all ties from wider family, with the exception of their parents. They have developed a fear of driving, so are marooned in their property. They are scared to mix with other people due to COVID, but won't have the jab as needle phobic and can't get to Drs. They are not registered with a Dr. They wish to now relocate to another area so that they can walk to places, but are struggling to put this into action. They won't be separated from their pets, which they use as a crutch, making it harder to travel by taxi/stay over night anywhere, or view properties in the area that they now wish to move to, several hours away, but have never visited. Until now their parents have driven down to see them every few weeks and helped out, but the father is now terminally ill and the mother doesn't drive. The person cut me out of their life completely many years ago for reasons unknown, along with many others. It saddens me that this person clearly needs help in order to get back on track, but is very defensive/doesn't react well to be given advice, particularly from family which is often perceived as criticism. I appreciate that it is very difficult to help someone like this. I believe that they do want help/friendships etc, but won't accept it from family and have very few friends. I don't really know what, if anything I can do. I tried for many years to remain in contact, but was ignored and blocked on social media. Do I try again? Do I write a letter offering help? Do I just show up unexpectedly and see what reaction I get and see if I can repair things in person? Do I contact one of their old friends? Are there any charities or services that could get involved? I want to help but don't know how to without making things worse.
