[quote=Anonymous] Been there, done that, except that it was my grandmother. Watching my mother and her 6 siblings negotiate this was educational, to say the least. She doted on the only son, took good care of the first couple of daughters, abused one mentally disabled daughter, and told my mother she didn't love her and should never have been born. First, your siblings have the right to their own opinions. Your experience was apparently not theirs. Second, what is it they want from you? You are ready to do something for your mother, which is great. Draw your boundaries, and then discuss whatever is open for discussion. I suppose you would refuse caring personally for her. My mother did too. How much then is your detachment worth? There needs to be some kind of financial compensation. I believe that home care is much less expensive than assisted living, so that works in your favor. [/quote]
