Ok, last long post about this...I swear it.
Parents have been trying to get in touch with me all day to try and "resolve" this issue. I was not answering the door and screening all my calls to avoid them, at least until Oonagh got home so we may face them together.
Oonagh gets home and the next phone call from my mother was as follows...(Left on answering machine)
Crazy nutcase woman wrote:
Foamy and Oonagh (She used our real names), your father has passed out on the floor and I can't wake him up. If he dies on the floor, I will never forgive you.
I call back immediately and get NO ANSWER from the house phone. Machine picked up and I left a message stating that she needs to pick up the phone right away and if she doesn't, I am going to call 911 to get an ambulance to their house, post haste. No one picked up the phone.
I hung up, called 911, reported the issue as my mom had told me on the message she left and provided their home number.
I called mom back, answering machine..."Mom, I just called 911 and an ambulance is on the way." I continue calling her house and cell numbers to no avail.
I receive a call from fire dispatch stating that they are at the house and there is no answer. They confirm they are at the correct house by letting me know there is a realtor's lock on the front door. I give them my mom's cell number and hang up with central dispatch.
I continue calling the house, concerned for my father, and finally get an answer...It is the EMT responder. They fill me in on the situation and it is as follows.

We are in the house. We got hold of the realtor and he provided us the key to get in. We have been through the whole house and there is no one here. There is one car in the driveway and no car in the garage. What is really odd, though is that the stove is still hot, there are noodles cooking and the cutting board is out with food on it.
So, my mom called me and lied about my dad being in any danger thus prompting my 911 call. I called her bluff this time and caught her. To this moment, I haven't been able to get her on the home or the cell number. I have called the three area hospitals, and none of them have him admitted through the emergency room.
Now, I ask you, gentle Gladers, does this sound like a woman I can have a sensible heart-to-heart with? I never have been able to catch her in a lie with proof to turn it back into her face. She is caught dead to rights and she either is going to admit she lied, or call me a liar saying that she never called me stating this. Unfortunately, Oonagh deleted the incriminating answering machine message with the proof needed to show I had a legitimate reason to call 911. Regardless, both myself and Oonagh heard the message and I called the Fire dispatch board back to tell them that after all, I had reason to believe that I was lied to about my father's state.
She may have lost all rights to see her grandchild at this point, and my dad gets knocked down another peg in my book because, hey...he knew that she called me with the lie, and he had to have heard the message that I left that I was going to call 911 and neither one of them picked up the phone, and yet he still got in the car with her to run away from the ambulance responders.
