My sister Dee showed up in August w/o asking. Brought her hyperactive 3 yr old son, too. Moved in with my 72 yr old mom and took over- house severely damaged (writing on walls w/markers, smashing furniture, rotting food under beds and rugs). Plus Dee expects mom to babysit every time she goes to work (about 50 hrs a week) AND when she goes out to shop or when she is sleeping which is a lot of the time. My mom is frazzled - I came over and found her staring at a wall and weeping on Tuesday, with the kitchen full of rotting food ( she was afraid to clean it because Dee had told her not to, that she would do it when she was good and ready.) Yesterday mom asked me to take Dee out & try and talk to her, and I was appalled to see Dee using mom's Debit Card. Found out she told mom she got the card or she would never see her or grandson again. Mom won't let me confront the B.i.t.ch. because she is scared of losing g/son. Just remortgage house to cope. Counselling rejected. Please, help????

Is there anyone else in your family that can help you? Call the police, they will get you going in the right direction. Do something quickly, your mom needs help. Shame on your sister, but believe me this kind of stuff happens a lot. If there is no one to stand up for their mom, they get away with it. Sounds to me like she should not even have her son, she is using him for a pawn. But how or why would you expect anything else from someone that will take advantage of there 72 yr old mom.
Get help quickly for your Mom.
