[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m on the other side of this as the sibling who doesn’t help at all. My sibs know it’s because I have a terrible relationship with him and can’tnspare the money. I frankly don’t think my dad deserves any support, so I feel zero moral responsibility about how my sibs help him and not me. [/quote]

My parents had a very definite "golden child."  Now the golden child is the only one that lives local to them (I'm about a 6 hour plane ride away, other sibling about a 3 hour plane ride) and responsible for everything-this was by my parents plan, though.  Decades before their decline (and before other sibling and I moved away) they listed golden child as the POA for financial, for medical and he is the trustee of their trust, executor of their will, etc.
After decades of being treated like crap while golden child was treated like royalty, other sibling and I are done.[/quote]

How does the golden child feel about it? Do you and other sibling have a relationship with golden child?[/quote]

Nope.  We actually did try to be supportive of him at first. But recently he has done some really sneaky things (like trying to get us to sign away our right to any inheritance) and then told us he never wanted to talk to us again because we wouldn't sign it.[/quote]
