[quote=Anonymous]I have written before about my parents/sibling cross-country. Last I wrote, Dad had suddenly passed and Mom was forced to immediately sell house because they had long been out of cash. She could no longer live there, even with my sibling, because she was getting increasingly wheelchair-bound. Husband and I laid out $$ for my mother to move to assisted living. She loves it, but my sibling actually moved in with her and my mother covers all her costs. Their choice, though my mother, now that she's settled, would love my sister to move out, even gave her some $$ to move out, but she hasn't. It's clear from her behavior there is something mentally not right. Sibling's always been OCD and anxious and I suspect that's what's causing sib to not try for a better paying job to be able to afford 'adulting'.

Well, today my mother tried to get up with the assisted living caregivers' help (she needs two) to go to the bathroom and they are suspecting she fractured her knee. Xray soon. This new injury could easily make her 100% wheelchair-bound and, sadly, she might not be able to stay in that assisted living. There is a place much closer to me with a ton of family around that is self-pay (she can afford it). It's a lovely place and she would be equally happy there for sure. My sibling though, will FLIP out because (a) it's a change) and (be) sibling can't afford to support him/herself. There's a lot of anger towards me for not paying for sib's apartment, to the point where sib is actually getting rather scary.

What now? Not sure anyone can answer me and not sure I really need one; it feels good to vent a bit I guess.[/quote]
