My mother passed away not long ago after a being ill for a long time. I'm an adult woman, & the youngest of 4 sibs. My sibs & I are in a dispute whether I'm responsible for funeral costs. They're much older than me and far better off financially. I feel my sibs turned their back on me when I was a teen & needed them desperately. My dad died when I was 15 & our mom was bi-polar. Times were hard for mom & I & the roles were reversed. I worked to buy the goceries & keep the lights on while my sibs, who were adults in their early 30's at the time were busy w/ their own lives. I contintued to contribute to support mom throughout my 20's even though she stole a credit crd fr me and ran up a huge debt. My sibs never helped me, although one is wealthy, & avoided what was really going on. I feel that I towed the line on my own in the past & they are much better off, they should takemy 1/4. It's not that I didn't love mom, it's just that my sibs were never there when we both needed them.
