[quote=Anonymous]My mom is not well. She is battling of things including declining mental health. She will need to be a facility. She put my brother in charge as power of attorney etc. My brother has made a number of decisions I do not agree with and then will not return calls when I have a question. FYIW I have no financial interest so it is not a situation where I am angling. It has gotten to a point where my health is being affected and my relationship with my husband. Everyday is me fretting and worrying but with no power to change the situation. I have tried to talk to my brother about getting back to me but he gets arrogant and it winds up being a fight. I honestly think he is over his head. I have gotten to the point where I am thinking of not asking anymore and when he does call me just saying that there are too many cooks in the kitchen and that I will continue to visit mom etc but that I don't want to be involved in the granular decisions--honestly I don't think my opinion counts anyway so I think getting the stress of the xxx is in the medical report but knowing I cannot suggest treatment etc  is just not worth it. Has anyone else been in this situation and if so how resolved. I am a peaceful person and I hate the idea of backing away but I think I am getting to the "first get your oxygen" feeling. I also hate that I am seeing this ugly side of my brother, it makes me feel like I am losing another relative as I think after my mom passes we will have no connection. Mom has no idea of the arguing-we are both respectful in that manner. Anyway sorry for the rant but I am feeling sad.[/quote]
