[quote=Anonymous]This is a non-parent relative. You are taking more personal care of them than many children do of their parents. You have not earned any crushing guilt. If you fell over tomorrow you have placed them in a place where they get interaction and food and good care. You need to detach, as PP said, and prioritize your own health and your own family. If your relative wanted a long-term companion, they should have planned better and treated you better. When they complain about you spending their money, point out that you are trying to spend their money ON THEIR OWN COMFORTS, as opposed to trying to increase whatever inheritance they may be trying to hold over your head. I'm sorry you're going through this. Some people cannot be made happy. I'd decrease the amount of time you spend with this person for a while until you recover your equilibrium. I feel like you've been in the maelstrom too long.[/quote]
