My mother has always been mean and toxic. My dad recently passed, and my sister was POA but my mom still gave me bills to pay and things to get her. I wish I was dead instead of helping her because now in less than 3 months her anger spews again. She is accusing me of emergency order of protection and spending all her money and she got a court date. I can't eat or sleep and I am so angry and I honestly never want to see her again. She is a miserable soul and now I am miserable. I should have never talked to her again like one of my siblings. Is there a type of attorney that can help me?
Good luck.
I think it is a good rule of thumb for caregivers that if a situation can cause legal problems, then back away. We don't owe that type of legal problem to anyone.
I'm very sorry to hear about your mom's behaviour and how it is affecting you. Definitely talk to an elder law attorney. You have to protect yourself. If this is something you do not want to take on, then its best to be upfront. No point in doing things for her because it will only lead to more anger and resentment.
