Concerned for my Mom

by Doug
(florida)

I am deeply concerned for my mom. For 25 years she lived with my alcoholic brother.

They spent a great deal of time yelling and screaming at each other. All the while she would buy him alcohol and enable him. Now he has passed away and it became obvious due to multiple falls that she needed someone to care for her and the house was in need of repair.

So I sold my home and lost all financial security doing so. So I arrived with a lot of love and know how to repair the house and keep her safe.

My brother never left the property. I have to work to bring in a little money. So I work free lance and it gives me the opportunity to stay on property more. Recently she was in the hospital and now can not drive. I know it is frustrating for her. So I give her several opportunities a week to get off the property. She will go to my aunts house but refuses to go anywhere with me.

She sits at home. I am deeply worried about her mental health. She presents fine to everyone else but when alone with me becomes angry and depressed and refuses any assistance. And now refusing to eat out of anger. What can I do????
