| For the first time in my life I have to be responsible |
|
My father recently died after a long illness. My little Mother is not all there due to stroke and Alzheimers. She's not that far gone and doesn't require nursing home care yet. Our estate is not alot but in 6 figures, however it I put her in the nursing home the State of Alabama will take all the assets so that puts me in the position of being the oldest divorced sibling and I have to take care of her. IN order to protect my inheritnce, I have to take care of her for at least three years or Bama willl come after me for Medicaid. I've never had to be this responsible in my life. I've raised kittens and puppies but not a Mom. I'm so freaked out.
Anyone else been through this?
