[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 332078, member: 1233"] I would be surprised if a court could force you to take care of her. There are thousands of people in nursing homes with living children who never visit, call, write or pay a penny in support. Given the abusive way she raised you, I would be shocked if a court would allow you to take care of her. Not that YOU would, of course you would not, but many many abused children would abuse the parent who abused them or allowed others to abuse them. I do know that you could not do this. But there are a LOT of abused kids who never got help and would abuse their parents when the parent needed care. If nothing else, your lack of a relationship with her would indicate that you would not be the best person to care for her. So you probably do not have to worry about that. You could always shift her onto your bro. You might have to make him think you want it, but I am quite sure if he thought that he would fight tooth and nail to make it so you could not even see her or talk to her. (hmmm. Finally a use for him. Whodathunkit?) [/QUOTE]
