[quote=Anonymous]Sounds EXACTLY like my situation, with dud siblings. The difference is the one nearby did nothing. The one that sounds exactly like you made promises, made noise about helping, but never did.

traveled cross-country several times a year for surgeries, paid for caregivers, listened in on doctor visits and asked questions, wrote a binder for caregivers, negotiated with contractors to redo the bathroom to make it accessible, and on.

You're brother is calling you out and you have the nerve to be defensive. You shouldn't have to "ask" about what you can do. You need to get your @ss on plane, by yourself, and meet with your brother. You need to do what you can to be there when he's going on a well-deserved vacation.

I'm not sure why your brother's question is rattling you. It sounds like you've chosen to not be involved. Of course, you don't have to be involved, but just tell the truth about it and don't get mad when people reflect that truth back to you.

Please do some self-reflection.
