[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think OP is being unfairly criticised here. Some of you seem to think that OP should be making decisions about her aunt's end of life care. Why? She is her aunt's NIECE, not her aunt's daughter. OP stated from the start that she comes from a large family with 30+ nieces and nephews. Why should OP make all the effort here while other family members can sit back and have a nice life? OP just happens to be the one who is physically there in person. This doesn't mean she should be burdened with end of life decisions. [/quote] Correct. Also correct: nobody (social workers, doctors, other family members, etc) other than a judge can make the decision to override the aunt's decisions about whether to accept care, and it's nobody's fault that they aren't doing what they can't do. Even if other people think they should, and even if those people feel pushed into a difficult spot. This is just a bad situation.[/quote]
