Well that went well - NOT

Kay82

I had plans to go away for 2 days and my sister refused to cover for me.  Who else did she think could do it? Both my brothers work full time, 1 is an OTR trucker driver.  I blew up at her and told her to not bother coming back here anymore since she can't commit to helping.

One of my brothers is the financial POA, my sister is the DPOA for everything else AND the executor. I told my brothers she needs to be removed. I can't do anything as I am here all the time & I cannot financially help. I can only hope they will take care of this as our mother is visibly declining every day.

Please know that I have read many posts here and my thoughts & prayers are with all of you.

So sorry sis didn't help you get away for a bit. Doesn't sound like that went very well at all.

thank you for thoughts and prayers - we all need that.

I'm so sorry.  I can't imagine how angry you must feel.

Does your LO have any money that could be used for a care provider for the week-end?

I’m so sorry. My family is relatively new into this (approx 1 year) and it’s amazing we haven’t all stopped speaking entirely as we were never the most functional to begin with. This is brutal and from what I’m reading on here, it doesn’t necessarily get easier. What I will say is that I felt your first post and hope things get better for you soon.

Kay 82,

My goodness you are carrying so much on your shoulders. I hope you're able to come to some kind of agreement that works for everyone. 

My two brothers and I live close to our mom who has developed dementia and we all pitch into to help her so no one person is burdened with her daily care. It's very difficult for me as my husband has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. The problem is that our sister lives 8 hours away and avoids helping at all because she thinks our mom should have chosen to go into assisted living 10 years ago. This disease is horribly hard on families. I feel so resentful of her blissful ignorance.

I'm sending positive vibes your way.
