She has done a lot of illegal things to gain control. She is now attempting to restrict visitation, saying I can only see my mother, that I’ve taken care of for over 7 years, with her permission, with her there. Is this legal? Doesn’t she need a court order for restricted visitation?

My LO has had no contact with his angry adopted son for years. LO truly can't stand him. The son refuses to be vaccinated for flu or Covid; he's a Covid denier and extremely right-wing. He's been very rude to me, and I'm POA. Son is making noises about wanting to see his dad. I'm curious: Has anyone reading this prohibited someone from seeing the person they're caregiving for reasons of not being vaccinated? I consider flu and Covid serious risks for my LO's frail health and feel that I'll have to play that card if son insists. I know I have the power, but what I'm interested in is how the person denied access responded in a similar situation.

Do you have any idea why she is restricting visitation from you?

If your mother is competent she can see anyone she requests to see. But if your mother has dementia and is severely impaired with a POA acting for her the POA is legally, under the law, allowed to make decisions about who sees her.

If you wish to see your Mom then do as requested. Make a loving and short visit to her in the presence of your sister. There has to be some reason that the sister, who was CHOSEN by your Mom as the POA, is afraid to let you see your mother alone. Whether that is because prior visits were upsetting to Mom, or she has other fears we cannot know unless you ask her. But if I wanted to see my Mom I would be find with it being an accompanied visit with my sis.
