I understand your frustration. My 84 y/o MIL lives with us. While she is not a burden, she is a pain in the ass. Cooks, makes a mess, doesn't clean up at all. My wife's siblings can't be bothered to visit her, even thought they all live within an hour drive. 20 years ago, she had well over a million in the bank, now she has nothing, in large part to her supporting one daughter who wanted to stay up with the rich and famous in Los Angeles. My fear is that the old lady is in pretty good shape and I might have to support her for another 10 or 15 years. I'm 58, so well into my retirement. Just what I need.
