[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 605326, member: 1514"] Well at least she didnt write a will the way my mom did. My mom specified in writing that I was to get nothing of hers when she died except that the executor COULD give me $10 a year if I was homeless and I needed medication and I provided documented proof from a doctor that I indeed needed medication. What a B! In the end, it was her who needed the help because she ended up with alzheimers. Her lawyer got her to sign a POA in one of her lucid moments where she could look at me, say my name and say I was her daughter. I think he just wanted me to have the POA because I was her only child and as such in the state she lived in and in mine, I was required by law to take care of her if she didnt have medicaid to pay for a nursing home. You can bet your bottom dollar I got everything she had. I used her money to buy the double wide I live in now because the one I was in was a single wide with only 3 bedrooms. I needed 4. When I sold her place I put the money in the bank and paid myself for taking care of her because she was one of the reasons I lost my job. I also couldnt attempt to find another job with her here because she would have had to pay far more for in home help. I spent down her money until she was eligible for medicaid and at that time I had her placed in a nursing home. I could have turned my back on her and tell a judge I wouldnt take her on because of the abuse all my life but I decided to do what I thought was right and do the best I could to take care of her until I simply couldnt anymore. The one bad thing was that when she went into the nursing home I couldnt bring myself to visit her very often and the social workers at the nursing home thought I was awful. Oh well...I had just had enough. She had no clue who I was anymore and I just felt done. [/QUOTE]
