If I ever get to the point where I'm incapable of taking care of myself I'm just going to do the ultimate act. 
I will NEVER allow myself to become enmeshed in the guardianship trap, which enriches those who prey on the helpless and elderly, and leave them in poverty, and squalor.
This is absolutely shameful and NYC isn't the only place where it happens. Guardianship should be ruled illegal and dismantled.
