Current events being what they are, my availibility here may be limited.
To cut the BS - I'm a full time carer for my mum. In many aspects, she needs a carer. In some, she doesn't. My brother (who's been out of the picture since the beginning of the year) accused me of filching mum out of her money, defrauding the government, lying to mum, and eating more then my fair share of food, and a few other things. Here's what the next few months might look like - An investigation, a court case, finding reliable character witnesses, doctors reports, and medical records, and trying to keep my mum away from my brother. The other possibility is that nothing will happen. Only words were said, but i don't know if he's taken any actions. The other thing to note, is that when mum and he were thrown out of their previous house, my brother had a newly finished 4 bedroom to move into which he owned, on a piece of land that he'd manged to con mum out of... leaving her homeless, and me there to take her in, even though it didn't really work for us to have her move in. So that's what i'm dealing with. Although, I do have a few tricks up my sleeve in regards to dealing with him.

Keeping healthy and sane and out of prison for sillyness is certainly your first priority, and no one begrudges you that.
Though lying little bastards make my blood boil, so if there's anything I can do to help let me know. I remember the horrible war that I was only on the grapevine for when my grandmother was ill. Relatives picking the house clean before she was dead, legal actions taken to ensure they got what they wanted despite the will (and her continued life) the fight on which convalescent home (cheap or good) to put her in. A tug of war with her expiring in the middle. It's awful, and family who do that are not family at all.

Thank you for your support - Mum came home today, and she seems happy. Now I just need to keep her here, and I know that Dad is on my side - What's best for Mum- what does she need vs what does she want/what does she hear. As for my brother and the people who won't get out of Mum's ear and carry on at me? Well, I have a curveball that no one will suspect. And the best part? It's all legal. But now that mum's home I feel a lot better and a lot more relaxed. I can get on with my job - looking after her. I will update what I can, personal message what I can't, but I will keep you posted.

Excellent. It's always nice to have a secret weapon.

Good luck, Mira! I have a friend who is going through something similar with her grandmother, and I know it's tearing her apart. I hope it gets resolved quickly for you!

Has it resolved?

It's settled, for now. But it depends on how busy my brother is kept.
