The family that takes and never gives.
by Emily
I have tried to very hard not to need them since I was in my early 20s. I know they would not be there for me anyway because they turned me down when I needed them b4 . So I moved far away from my hometown years a go. However, I am now the sole caretaker for my Mother. My only sibling( Moms fave.) had a lot of help over the years from our Mother. Yet she literally kicked her out of her house after taking Moms last bit of savings. To get her to leave my sister poured coke in her bed tossed all her cloths outside and turned her room upside down. After this she called me and told me she did not care where Mom went period. My Mother then drove from 3000 miles (with a friend that I asked to go) in a run down car with her aging dog. She was going to travel alone. My sister said Mom could make it on her own after having 2 strokes. My son cannot stand my Mother since she is like a bratty teenager herself and he sees a therapist now to deal with her. I am on medication due to panic attracts and medication for sleep and stress. I am very upset with my sister . I have taken her in so many times and my Mom too she has always needed money. I remember one time my Mom need $ 2500.00 (as a loan) We could not afford this so we gave her $ 500.00. She was mad and told me "it was not a drop in the bucket!" What bothers me the most is the fact that this is effecting my family and my life and my sister could care less. My family's life is important too, not just my sisters life. The well fare housing is full and there is not even a waiting list. And I live with myself if we never kick her out to be homeless. And I love her on some level although I cannot stand her personality.
