Family drama 😑🥴
My mom passed away Monday September 14th 2020. Everything happened so quickly and very unexpected. Well I was her caretaker, she had mild dementia, I took her to every appointment in the last 5.5 years ( dementia came on after a stroke in 2014 ) I watched her meds and made sure she didn't miss an appointment. When I say was HER PERSON I really mean it. She would call me all hours of the night. Well she has a son, my older brother. He has done NOTHING! When she was in the hospital 6 years ago(June 2014), I was working my ass off to make sure she didn't lose her apartment. He had lost his job, so he sat at the hospital really out of guilt because he and her had gotten into a fight October 2013. So he sat by her side and acts like he is the one who saved her when I was told by drs she wasn't going to make it. He prolonged her life on the machines, she didn't want that but because he was older he had say. Well she got out of the hospital a month later (July 2014) she went into a rehabilitation center to help her learn to walk and eat and talk again. Then after a month of being there she got released and went to stay with my brother. She was only there 2 weeks to maybe a month. He dropped her at my grandparents house. She had always been a spit fire and a bit of a fighter 😂 she stayed with my grandparents for about 2 months then went back to her apartment. Well when she came home I took over taking care of her. Literally she was like having a teenager of my own at 22 years old. I've taken on a lot, considering I have 2 kiddos. Well my mom wanted a Last Will and Testament cause she didn't want my brother to over run me if something happened to her. Cause he is that type that will. Well here we are she is gone and in the Will it states that he is excluded. 🤷🏻♀️ Well I haven't told him that I knew that I would give him some stuff cause I have a big heart. So I let him have her couch, coffee table and 2 matching end tables. Well I got super overwhelmed yesterday and I told all of them ( my brother and his wife and they brought their 20 year old son ) I wanted to do one room at a time cause she had a lot of important papers and I wanted to watch him cause well yea.... Well I made them all leave cause I wanted to do this by myself she was my mom and I left I was being more than nice and they are just rushing me. I have until the 30th to close those doors and they are just driving me crazy and not being organized 🥴
So he came back a bit later to get some of her ashes cause he had his urn. That's fine so I gave him some. Then he tells me that his kids (5 of them) seem to think I'm taking over everything. 🙄 Why yes, yes I am cause legally he gets nothing so I've been more than generous. But that is how his kids and wife have always been gimme gimme gimme. 🙄🙄🙄 Today I am getting the rest of her stuff out. I'm not ready to close that door. I feel everyone is rushing me, that was my home for a very long time with her. I really do t want my brother to come back. I don't want his help, I want to finish this myself. He didn't help me with her at all so why does he want to help with all this ?
