I was living with my mother and she allowed me to store my stuff at her house.

Comments

• Duh, my mother has Alzheimer's. You think that someone who doesn't know which day of the week it is can make decisions? She allowed me to store my stuff before she got really bad off and couldn't take care of herself. It's in her garage. My brother is living in her house scot free. His most recent purchase: a Harley Davidson. He's working at a pancake restaurant, five days a week. He's leaving her at home A-L-O-N-E during that time. The question was about the legality of making me move the stuff out of her garage.

• Duh. I answered that in my first sentence. Duh. Your brother is taking care of your mother who has a horrible, debilitating illness while working full time. He's not leaving her alone to go to Disney World. And if you're so concerned about her being alone, why don't you arrange to pay for help during that time? Living there rent free and purchasing a Harley Davidson? Exactly what do you think you would have to pay to get care for your mother if your brother wasn't there? Do you have any idea what the cost of a quality nursing facility is? A little bit more than rent and the cost of a Harley Davidson. And are you helping with your mother's care at all? Or are you too busy whining about your material things? Oh gee, I see from your other comment that you visit her once a week. Why don't you try changing places with your brother and then get back to us?

• If you really knew anything about Alzheimer's you would know it isn't a good idea to leave anyone with this condition alone. You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. My brother has made no attempt to try to find someone to stay with her. The money is available to do this. I do what I can to help her. I use my limited resources to put gas in my car and go to see her 45 minutes away (each way) and take her out to lunch. My friends at the church I used to attend to pick her up and take her with them. I have two sister's and another brother who are (missing in action) who don't help at all. The fact that you ignore that I am disabled is disturbing. It is difficult to manage stairs and my mother's house has many. To add to the severe arthritis, fatigue is also a part of that. And just where do you think I would get the money to do anything with? I'm working three days a week for slightly more than minimum wage. So, you hate the poor and disabled. Your a piece of work.

• You obviously have no idea what I know about Alzheimer's, being poor or disabled. But you seem pretty determined to feel sorry for yourself and hold on to your point of view so I'll leave you to it.
