This exact thing happened to my poor mother in law, and my gf said it happened to her Dad. With you paying her expenses I would assume you are her POA? If you are then put your foot down with the vultures, and explain to your Mom that you need to be in charge for her future to be secure. When my father passed this past January, some came forward right away and wanted to claim this and that. I am an only child so I said everything (with my Mom's permission) is in my control, and now the vultures (unfortunately my kids) don't ask anymore. Good luck to you sweetie, it's so sad to see people take advantage of the elderly.

yes it is so true.

I cannot believe my family. I used to get along with them really good, until I moved to town and I seen how they treated my wonderful mother who has always been good to everyone at all times. They have stole from her, borrowed monery from her and never paid it back, lied to me, lied to her, swindled me,and never paid it back. I even got a slap in the face for not lending my sister money for the casino, in which she insisted on. Now, I'm the drunk, the sicko,and she makes sure everyone in town knows it. My mother almost died and out of eight of us, I was the only one there at her death bed. I brought her back to health with positive thinking and my love for her, and the rest of them are all negative and they stress her out all the time. Ma don't have much at all, I pay for everything, that's the problem. They want wants no even there. they have put me through hell, as long as ma. I even offered to pay them to leave us alone and they refuse to......... what in the hell can I do ??? It seems that they won't leave us alone until we die, and then it turns all positive on their part , and of course,,,, I'm the dog. Oh, I could go on and on on these ass holes. It's never ending. Ma doesn't even know what her grandkids look like ! they send no pictures even though I have paid them to do so. This goes on and on, I promise you !
