NC for this.
Please help me emotionally deal with this. I am waiting for counselling.
My mum was taken ill 12months ago- she survived but has a long road of rehabilitation. Totally housebound and reliant on carers. This has been an awful time. My brother, who lives the closest has always used mum for money and visits every 3 weeks. He will not do anymore despite being near and has twisted his adult childrens minds against me. Saying I am controlling. My mum is lonely and isolated.I am 400 miles away with a young child and visit once a month. I have organised carers,therapists absolutely everything and he will not help with a thing. She doesn't know we have fallen out, the pretence continues for her.
I am so hurt he can treat her like this, still totally exploiting her good nature and twisted my nieces against me.
I've just been feeling really sad about it for my mum- he won't even take her out for lunch nor will.my choices. They are so busy to do anything to help.
Sorry I just needed to get it off my chest. Hints on dealing with the grief of my mum that was and coping emotionally with the family breakdown.xx
