I am angry that my brother charges me rent to live in the house where I am the only caregiver to our aging mother. He doesn't care that I do everything for her and he just goes to his other "beach" house to enjoy his life without consideration, that I never get a break.
I am reaching burn out of this situation and do not want to abandon mom.
I have 3 other siblings who are all out of state and cannot help either.
I am angry but do not know how to fix this situation.
Any suggestions? Don't I have any rights in this circumstance?
Its terrible when you are in this situation but dont take any of his crap you are doing more than your share and he should be grateful you are there. Do not let him continue to treat you like this and discuss it with your other siblings as this is the lowest thing ive heard on here. If he wants rent then he needs to get mum care!
If you're taking care of your mother full time, I think the monetary value of your care would well exceed whatever the market rent rate would be.
Make a list of everything, and I mean everything, that you do for your mother. You'll have to get the courage to challenge him but it's probably the only thing that will change the situation and the feeling of abuse you have.
On the other hand, if you're not able to support yourself in independent housing, your brother knows that and can take advantage of you. If this is the case, you might want to consider getting a job so you can move out and leave the caregiving to him. After he realizes you're serious, he may (or may not) change his attitude and perhaps you could then split the caregiving tasks. But you're going to have to stand up to him first.
