I have been caring for my mother and her bills for several years. But I also have a brother......yea! same old story. He has been in prison for drugs but has been released for 2 years. He says he will care for mom but has proved to be the opposite. He has managed to max all of her credit cards. Get her to make loans for his behalf, tying up her car she still owes a large sum of money on her home and only has appx 1100.00 per month coming in. I am at my wit's end. He can scream and yell, cuss and shake his fist at her and get her so emotionally upset that she will do what ever he wants. She will not leave her home or kick him out. It has even gotten to the point that she will authorize payment out of her checking account for his bills and let her's go. I do not know what to do. I cannot afford to pay bills he ran up and do not feel I should have to. But how do I protect her????????????? This is killing me emotionally.
I am caring for my mother, goldie, who is 77 years old, living at home and the primary ailment is general age-related decline.
