SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE
A safe, private space to share your experience of Power of Attorney in Scotland. You can remain anonymous. Every story helps show the scale of family exclusion and safeguarding failures.
You can stay completely anonymous. Even one sentence is enough.
Maybe you’ve felt this:
• Kept away from someone you love
• Told “the Power of Attorney won’t allow it” — and didn’t know how to challenge it
• Afraid that speaking up will make things worse for them
• Wondering if anyone else is going through the same thing
If this sounds familiar, this space is for you.
You can share as much or as little as you want — even just:
“This is happening to us too.”
You never have to give:
• Your name
• Your loved one’s name
• Addresses or phone numbers
• Anything you’re not ready to share
Everything you send:
• Goes only to us — families who understand
• Is treated as completely private
• Is never shared without your clear permission
A note from one of us
“I’m still walking this road myself. Some days it feels lonely, confusing, and deeply unfair. What kept me going was hearing from other families — realising I wasn’t alone, and neither are you. That’s why this space exists. Because we need each other.”
How to reach out
(You don’t need to include a name or any contact details — just send what feels right.)
There is no rush.
There is no pressure.
Just a listening ear — and the quiet truth that you are not alone.
Every message helps build the bigger picture.
Every shared experience makes it harder to ignore what is happening behind closed doors.
Let’s make sure the vulnerable older people at the centre of this are finally seen — and properly protected. 💛
