[quote=Anonymous]OP, Sorry that you're going through this. I can totally relate about siblings not being able to all contribute and all. I'm 1 of 3. The older while responsible is very selfish and has a horrible temper which he unleashes on me whenever he's stressed (kind of like kicking a dog). The youngest is very irresponsible and a lost cause. I don't have much more to add except that I heard someone say that when it comes to parents the longer they live the more childlike they become. As their bodies and minds begin to fail them they start to resemble infants in that you can't reason with them and they may have incontrollable emotions. The only difference is that you can't tell them what to do and they may be totally aware of this loss of dignity. Particularly with your mother, please try to remember that and have as much patience for her situation. W/r/t your add maybe he should get checked out for dementia. I know that it won't solve anything, but it might be better to know what may be coming down the road and try to make some type of plans. Best of luck.[/quote]
