I am starting to feel bitter, that I am the only one in my family to take responsibility for my elderly Aunt?
10 years ago my other Aunt died, so my Aunt was left alone in a city 70 miles away from me. I started to take care of her then, especially when she lost most of her eye sight. Taking her to doctors, going to buy her groceries, and later ordering her groceries, and medication on line. Picking her up on all holidays, and have her to my house for 4 or 5 days at a time, with little help from my family, or my mother. She doesn’t take any of the tasks to do herself with out me.
Over the years I have had to take days off from work, while my mother is retired, and my sister doesn’t work. My older sister has done the minimum, and my younger sister has done nothing!
Two and a half years ago my Aunt ended up in the hospital almost dying. I had her brought to my city, to a nursing home, and than on to assisted living, a very nice luxury one. I pay all her bills, handle her money ,take her to all her appointments, Visit her once or twice a week, pick her up, and cook her home cooked meals at my house, and have her spend the night. I do all her shopping, and buy her what she needs. I am 100% in charge, because I wanted to do it, and because nobody else volunteered.
At the beginning I thought I would have help from certain family members, but they are all "too busy" with there own lives. I get no thanks from anyone, not even my Aunt.
As I was growing up, we visited my Aunts, and Deceased grandmother, every holiday. My Aunt always had birthday presents, and made a cake, and Xmas presents for us. My 2 aunts andgrandmothe were really our only extended family, as my Dads family lived 4 states away!
I want to take care of her, and make the remaining part of her life as good as it can be, but I am feeling really bitter towards my mother, and sisters. I am also feeling greedy, because my Aunt has left all her money to my mother, and than when my mother is gone it goes to me and my sisters. I never wanted her money, but I feel after giving her all these years, it would me nice for her or my mother to acknowledge it, buy at least leaving me something, and I cringe to think of my sisters getting any of it. I know it sounds greedy, that’s why I am telling you, because I could never tell any family members how I feel. It just seems strange that I am doing all this, and the family members are just going about there lives, and letting me do it all!
Well I gotta go to pick up my Aunt to bring her to the doctor today, so let me know what you think!
You are doing a wonderful thing. and while you are doing it for someone else, in the end do it because it makes you feel good. If others don’t help don’t feel bitter. and do as much as you can with out feeling overwhelmed.
One day you will look back and get a great sense of accomplishment out of this. and hopefully when you are old someone will take care of you too if you need it

i understand what your saying. do i feel that your being greedy? not at all. this is a normal feeling. you have put your life on the back burner in many ways. but will get no thanks.the thing is, your mother and sister know they don’t have to do a damn thing. your mom knows that she will receive this money, regardless. maybe you need to open your mouth. tell your mom and sister. that you have had enough.that they need to step up to the plate, because your not going to do it all any more. trust me i know. i took care of my mom,after her stroke. no one in mt family helped, but were quick to complain when they did not like something i did or did not do. after 2 years. i put my foot down. now everyone pitches in.the thing is as long as they know your there and you will do it all. they wont help.so, speak up!!
