[quote=Anonymous]My mother has had a chronic and debilitating illness all my life. My parents were wildly irresponsible about money. My mom inherited a substantial sum of money from her parents' estate (over $2M) when I was 15. They blew every penny (and not on us kids because we all had scholarships and loans for college). My dad ended up moving my mother to another state with cheaper COL. She is on Medicaid after he died. She has dementia. She will call and yell at me about her situation. I pay for some of her extras because Medicare only leaves her with $60 a month extra. I have two small kids. I feel horrible that she is unhappy but I also feel that it isn't my problem. My grandparents constantly bailed them out financially and now she has to live within her means. I am sad she doesn't live closer but I am not sure moving her is possible due to her Medicaid situation. Is it hard to change states under Medicaid? Should I feel guilty for this situation?[/quote]
