7. Boundaries are not painless but often necessary.

I’m sorry they don’t respect you. That is on them. It never makes sense. My mom is 86 in memory care and my sister is 65. They were always the tag team against me. I don’t know what I ever did to them. All I can do is draw the line and stand behind it. When helping my other sister who was terminally ill I turned to the hospice nurse and said I don’t know what to do in terms of dealing with my mother and other sister. The nurse looked at me and told me it doesn’t matter what you do. Whatever you do will be the wrong thing. I took a long breath and embraced the freedom to make a choice. You can’t talk sense to these people. You try and try again. Do what you want with your finances. You don’t owe them anything. You can chose how and when to give. You can chose to stay away from the drama. Over time it will work out in one way or the other. You deserve better. Be easy with yourself. Love to you!💗🙏🏼
