[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she has started “hinting” then you can respond that you hope she’s making appropriate plans for her aging. Remind her that you are saddled with debt from your education and early adult life (even if that’s been paid. She need not know your finances) and do not anticipate being involved. Suggest she have plans drawn up and make your brother the POA, etc. Give nothing and expect nothing.[/quote] Another +1. It sounds like your relationships are complicated and hard for you, and I’m sorry. Glad you are talking with a therapist. You can’t tell or even expect your brother what to do when your mom gets older. PP gives you the right idea - if she mentions it, let her know you won’t be supporting her, and then let it go. Whether your brother helps her is between the two of them. [/quote]
