I moved back to my hometown to help my mom about 6 months ago. She is an alcoholic that given up on life after my dad died 8 years ago. Her health has became so bad the last few months. I have been taking care of her and slowly trying to wing her off of alcohol all by myself. Even though I have 2 out of 3 siblings living in the same town I have been caring for mom alone. She wasn't able to breath and had tarry stool so I called the ambulance. She ended up in the hospital for 2 weeks and a physical therapy hospital for about a week in a half.
When mom finally came home my brother who just lost his job he had for 11 years and decided to move in to help with mom. Now he has taken charge of the whole house. He has made statements to me that it a my fault mom is dying several times. When I moved out of town for 3 years. I have been telling him mom needs his help and he should move in to help with bills. He never did. Now that things have got serious. He is using me as a scapegoat and has been accusing me for stealing and being on drugs. Why is this happening?
My question is why would my sibling blame me and continue to use me for their scapegoat?
