I will try and give all relevant info but keep it brief. Elderly distant relative, I've known them all my life but quite distantly. Lots of siblings, nieces and nephews who are closer then me. Elderly relative became ill and was dying. No one would step up and sort anything out. So I did. I went to appointments, arranged carers, cleaners, basically everything elderly relative needed to be comfortable and cared for until the end. Two closer relatives would visit but didn't want to get involved in anything more than visits. Relative has now died. The two closer relatives took over all of elderly relatives affairs etc and have now totally cut me off. I've left messages and they will not respond. I took on all the hard work because no one else would even though I have 4 primary aged children, work full time. It was hard but it was the right thing to do. Now I feel like I have been dumped. Feel totally used.
