I care for my mother and am her youngest son of 3, my 2 brothers have offered no help at all and for the past 5 years iv had to care for my mother with Alzheimer's. Iv had to reduce my hours in work down to practically zero give up all social events including family weddings while my brothers lives haven't changed one bit. In fact one brother who only lives a mile away hasn't visited our mother for 18months. Both know how much how it's affected my life and just don't care. I find it all just unbelievable. I hope your brother does the right thing it's too late for my brothers though cus it's past the point now where our mother would recognise them.
I am so sorry to hear this. You are right. IT IS JUST UNBELIEVABLE! I hope he does the right thing but if he does not, I guess it will be loans now. Does this brother who lives one mile not visit her in 18 months? why? Is he ill? Is there a valid reason?
I am so sorry for the situation you are in, but at least you know that you are there for her. Blessings to you and to all who do this. I am just so sorry it is this way. There must be more people out there in these circumstances.
