[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at the bright side, she will soon be no more 
It may sound horrible but I felt relieved and almost happy when my mentally ill, difficult mother died
She managed to wreak havoc on our whole family and even as my brother and I left she kept our father hostage almost literally 
Now we are all free
I wish you relief! [/quote]

NOT HORRIBLE PP! Relief and happiness to be out of that situation is NORMAL. Say it with me!! The enabling going on with my parents/sister right now is ridiculous. We sold a house and my sister wants to have all that money put in my parents account because ‘we don’t need it’. They’d go through it in probably under a year. They have nothing for their long-term care except the house they own and are refusing to downsize or move into another home we own that the can live in free of charge. We are simply expected to fund their lifestyle including 10-15K for future round-the-clock care. My mother would move in a heartbeat if my totally able-bodied sister wasn’t so afraid of change. My father would go too once he was told (again) he has no money anymore. Moving, even locally, would mean over a 1/2 mil for their care. They are both almost 90 and almost totally disabled. My sister comes off as the saint and I’m the evil sibling who refuses to drain our own resources so they can pretend that everything is ok  :roll: [/quote]
