[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Xray showed fractured kneecap. They are taking her to the hospital. My kid is coming home from Asia for a week and a half - first time I'll see him in two years. If you think I'm getting on a plane and missing him, you're insane. I offered them so many (free) opportunities to move East and I was called all sorts of crap. I told them flying back and forth cross-country all the time is not something I'm going to do. I told my mother that if they will not take her back at assisted living, I am moving her East. Her response was "when your sibling moves out. I already told her I'm moving East when she finds a place to live". My mother is so worried about my sibling, who does work but deliberately keeps income low to take advantage of state insurance. So can't qualify for anything. OCD is to the point where if I let sib live in our beach place, sib will bar the doors and not let us in, so we don't contaminate the space. Will turn into an eviction nightmare and sib knows the law and knows how to work it. If sib medicates (currently refusing), things can change. But I won't lose my house.

I'll call, I'll be involved, and after my kid leaves and the roof is done, I will consider going out there for a bit. Husband was laid off for months, is now working. Taking time off is not going to happen for him so it's not going to be cheap or easy

I am sorry you are dealing with this OP. I think you have a solid plan. No one wants to be heartless, but sibling sounds capable but not motivated. I'd help sibling get their own place just to get my mom closer to me. IF you have the ability to help sibling with rent for some period of time that might make it easier for your mother to leave.

Good luck.[/quote]
