I’m sitting here so desperate I am at a
loss as to what to do.
nearly 10 years ago my darling dad left me £100k when he died to keep safe for my future. I have a disabled son who will need specialist secondary schooling and I can’t work much due to his care needs. While not legally bound it was a moral promise I would
keep it for his care needs and private education support.
but I didn’t. I’ve spent it all, on living. On some
holidays for us to make
memories from. To pay for therapy for me to come to terms with a life I. Had to adjust to. For bills
I couldn’t pay on my low wage as i care for him and the amazing gift of £100k put me
over the threshold for any benefit help.
my mother now needs to go into a nursing home and my brother who received
the same generous amount has suggested we pool our inheritance together to help fund her care home fees until her house sells and we will re-coup it. But of course I don’t have it. I kept evading the questions and they clearly knew something was wrong and it’s all come
out tonight that it’s gone. My brother and mother are disgusted and have said they will be polite to me but any trust and relationship has now gone.
im so desperately lonely. I am on my own and they were my friends and my family. My days are spent looking after my son who alternates between loving me
and verbally abusing me. There is no joy. And now I’m truly on my
owm having let my family
down. All my hope is gone. I feel empty. I am only posting as I’m scared of dọing something I may regret. I can’t see a way out.
