[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm totally sympathetic. My sister and her husband visited once or twice a year and expected my elderly mom to pay all their traveling expenses and, in one case, their lost wages. They also treated each visit as a vacation and spent very little time with mom but stayed in assisted living apartment and ate meals at her expense, then spent the entire day and sometimes nighttime sightseeing. The staff had to call me, while they were visiting, when mom became ill or there was something she needed. They also helped themselves to her jewelry, silver, etc. as well as her credit cards, handicapped parking pass. We lived an equal distance away, visited three times as much, never charged mom for expenses. I now communicate with my sibling about once a month, by phone, mostly to honor my deceased parents. By the way, the resident "caretaker" of a local woman recently murdered her mom, then burned her remains in the back yard (they found the pelvis and a foot, plus skull with execution style bullet hole). Like my mom, this poor woman tried to be generous with her selfish, abusive daughter and got killed instead.[/quote] ^^^ I forgot the best part. My sister convinced my mother to have a locksmith break into her home safe. Mom called me while the locksmith was working on the job (I provided her with a cell phone). I called the security at the assisted living center but it was too late as the jewelry had been removed. Writing this has helped me focus. I need to cut off all contact with these sick people.[/quote]
