About Psycotheis
Life is full of hardships and though being as young as I am, I've dealt with a lot over my time. I'll admit, I've never had a death of a loved one, getting stung by a bee, had cancer, or died and revived so I can live to tell about it, I still have some know hows on how to deal with it all. I know things here and there that have nothing to do with anything but it helps in times of need. Its all a matter of paying attention and figuring out what could have, would have, or should have been done.
I can give great advice sometimes, buts a matter of fact that you can't just read it and go,"That's a great idea, I might do that..." Take into account that advice is only as good as the person who uses it, not the person who gives it...
The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.
George Eliot
English novelist (1819 - 1880)
Character is what God and the angels know of us; reputation is what men and women think of us.
Horace Mann
US educator (1796 - 1859)
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
Hebrews 13:2
We are, each of us angels with only one wing; and we can only fly by embracing one another.
Luciano de Crescenzo
A man does not have to be an angel in order to be a saint.
Albert Schweitzer
French philosopher & physician (1875 - 1965)
God always has an angel of help for those who are willing to do their duty.
T. L. Cuyler

I have an aunt who is mentally disabled. She constantly needs someone to take care of her because she can't do anything on her own. She used to live with my grandfather, who took complete care of her. Now, my grandfather passed away, and everyone's wondering, who's going to be respinsible for her now? She has five older brothers and three older sisters (including my mom), so our family is very large. Anyway, now my uncles are litterally trying to push the responsibility on my mother. She's doing practically everything for her! But I know that my mother can't handle it because she can hardly take care of me and my two sisters. But for some reason, my uncles think that my mom is the best person out of EIGHT FREAKIN' PEOPLE to take care of my aunt (even though she's third to youngest.) What should we do now? We don't want to just say no because we might cause a big fight within the family. But at the same time,we have no choice. All my other uncles and aunts don't seem to be doing a thing for her. It's not fair. What should we do now? Thanks
I would say take care of her as much as possible, and get your whole family(meaning any siblings if you have) to help along. The more care from you guys she gets, the better she'll be. Im quite it would much better than sending her to a retirement home for senior citizens.
But when she passes away there maybe a possibility that the family will blame it on your mother. I'm not sure it would happen, but I'm giving a warning based on what I got from your explanation. And even if this doesn't happen, most her things should be willed to your part of the family for doing so much for her. Which, in turn, will allow you to keep all the sentimental belongings while the others have to rely on memories, unless you guys are feeling forgiving for getting the load thrown on you...
