in miami bch. I gave up my job and moved in with my mother in texas, I'am her
primary care giver because none of my siblings would do it (three brothers and a
niece and nephew) they all live near her. now I've been taking care of mom for a
little bit over one year. all my siblings talk about chipping in money to pay for a caregiver or come by and help with cooking and bathing and all that stuff when she
was in the hospital. but they have done absolutely nothing. am i wrong to ask them
to pay me say 300.00 a mos? I ask for 50 a wk. but they wont. I love my mother,
she has always been there for me (bad or good) but I'am broke, no job and thinkin
about leaving. I have health issues myself. I'am so mad and disgusted with my
family, I'am stuck between a rock and a hard place and dont know what to do.
one of my brothers live here with mom and me but he don't do nothing but spend
the little savings my mother has. is it wrong to ask for access to her finances to
pay myself a little chump change for the things i might need? please help with
some feedback.
