Hello @ab68459945 : Thank you for reaching out, and I'm sorry to hear that it's been a rough go of it for you.
Family dynamics can be so difficult. It's not uncommon for one person (or a small few people) to do all the heavy lifting. Are the unhelpful family members nearby and physically/mentally/emotionally competent to pitch in? If so, then let's talk about ways to circle the wagons to best help your mom (and you!).
Can you give us a bit more detail about the problems you're encountering with power of attorney? Perhaps we can brainstorm some solutions together.
Thanks, and take care!
Iโm sorry. I know itโs really rough.
Is there a department of aging in your state? They often provide guidance in those situations.
Is it financial help you need? Or physical help? Is your mom (or you) a member of a church or other community or faith group? Often they will help.
