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

Well my grandma and grandma's friend's son is mentally disabled. They put him into a home where they are allowed to pick him up on weekends so you should look into this. Best of luck.
