Okay here's the deal. My mom and my sister were arguing yesterday. And my sister was threatening to call the "state" on my mom, because she said my mom is abusing my handicapped brother, which this is so not true, because I live at home with my mom. My sister is extremely jealous, because my mom now has a good paying job, and that my sister can't barely sell a house, because she's a supposed real estate agent. My mom is afraid, because she thinks the state is going to take away my brother, but why would they take him away? She doesn't do anything. My mom is 41 years older than me, and my mom has been taking care of my brother for 40 years, she bathes, feeds, make sure he gets on his school bus everyday...She makes sure he's okay where his medicines are concerned, she's getting him a new wheelchair and everything. I don't understand why my sister would do that stuff to her. My sister said she had been hating my mom all her life, for what, its because she's jealous. Help me!

Since talking to your sister is evidently not going to work...You know your mom is doing the right things for your brother. If your sister isn't making empty threats, she will have to prove her accusations. You can witness for your mother, so can the school and any medical practitioners that have seen your brother. Your sister has nothing but her own inadequacies to fight with.

Within all families there can be disputes like this. Your Mom has nothing to worry about if your sister does as she has threatened if as you say your brother is well cared for and happy. Sad to say sounds as though your sister is seeking to gain extra attention from people outside of the family circle.
Don't let your sisters actions upset you and your Mom for that is what she wants to do by making the threats.

This is what I would do, I would call the state myself and explain what is going on with the sister. That way they can come in and talk to you, your mom and your brother is he is able. As far as your sister goes get every conversation she has with your mom on tape. That will give you evidence that the acusations are false. Good luck honey, don't you call the state, your mom may want to. Record stuff for your mom and keep it to yourself and your mom. Mom should keep her cool when on the recordings. .

Social workers investigate. They don't just take one persons word for anything. You are a witness that your brother is treated well, taken care of and is happy. As for your aunt, she is a poor excuse for a sister.

Well, if your sister does do something stupid like that, it won't work because you're a witness and I'm sure there are other people who witness your mother's care and love for your brother.

do you know any nurses, friends with them. let them observe how your brother is taken care of. this is back up in case your sister does do anything. then you mom has to call her bluff, or she will be blackmailed any time your sister needs a push. if you are christians, remind her about honor thy mother. its one of the biggies, and pray for her

Your mom won't get into any trouble if you tell the "state" that your mom did not do anything to your brother.And they will believe you because you're a witness.Hope everything goes okay.

sweet_angel that was very disrespectful. Miss Danyielle, you tell your mother not to worry because God is watching over her and the family. Your sister needs to grow up and appreciate her family. Tell her that it will be ok, and even though her daughter is acting crazy, that she will reap what she sows. I hope all is ok for you! God bless you and your family!

Tell your mom to go to a social worker who can help her with this problem. That way, she'll be ahead of your sister's lying ways.
