[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 587633, member: 1233"] First of all, I think you are remarkable to be able to handle this stuff as calmly as you do. Your mom is lucky to have you in her corner. Second, about your sibs not knowing of the problems: It is my understanding that they lived with your mom more or less all the time and that you lived with your grandmother quite a lot of the time. If this is what happened, then your sibs saw her problems develop/emerge gradually and they did NOT monitor the increasing (and increasingly strange) symptoms because they saw them every day. As kids, you think that every family is like yours. Due to this, your sibs may truly NOT have seen how controlling she was, how her mental illness caused problems, and the patterns they learned from her. At least your sis is talking to you. I have wondered about your brother in law's handling of your mom's money, esp after she got so upset in TX. I hope and pray that she was not robbed. It hurts so very much more when it is a loved one or partner of a loved one who violates your trust and sense of safey. [/QUOTE]
