First of all, there are details that are still vague, and naturally it must be underlined that there is merely a suspect in this case, but it appears that a woman pushed a 73-year-old woman from her wheelchair in Florida out of frustration. Apparently the phrase uttered at the time of the incident indicates that this was the result of a process and not a particular event.
Please, please, please. Do not let yourself get into this state. Get help and, naturally, don’t compound your problems with drink.
A lifetime of anything is no excuse for elder abuse, assault, or criminality of any kind including elder financial abuse.
