Because, when the system says or demands that those who fall within it brief should be process according to its protocols and procedures, it is not easy for a lowly individual to hold and stand by a contradictory or opposing position. 

How can one, when you know only too well, that if your; my opposing position is allowed to carry the day, and things were later to fall apart, as it were. 

How well would I be able to defend my position against those who would argue that, 'it was my fault?  

That I had gone against the advise of the professionals, and even family members who had argued for the alternative option? 

Who had argued that it was clear that my dear mother would not have been able to be safely cared for in her own home, and should have been placed in a care or nursing home?

Argued that I had been difficult and had not taken into account and given sufficient weight to the views of other relevant parties. 

And so it is, that having made my position clear, and asserted, factually, that my position was that of my dear mother, which I will stand by. 

I have successfully argued that appropriate arrangements should be made for her return to her apartment.
