[quote=Anonymous]OP I don't think you're whining I think you're at your breaking point. After having done everything for so long with the resentment and demands getting worse over time you've finally thrown up your hands and given up completely. I've been there. You're dealing with a lot right now. Resentment over childhood, over what other siblings got, grief over your mom declining (who you must love or you wouldn't be doing any of this), anger over how your siblings have left you holding the bag, rage over why your mom didn't like you as much as your siblings, and probably a lot of stuff too.

I would tell her assisted living you are going on vacation for a month overseas and change all the numbers to the siblings. Send one last email to the siblings and say that if they won't be POA/AMD/executor then the courts will have to assign a conservator. Add on that mom's condition is changing and she needs memory care. You don't know what the cost is or where she should move to, but she can't stay where she is (and that's true -- if she starts wandering it will not be safe for her anymore). Then fade out with no guilt because you've done enough![/quote]
