I do not know where I fit in to this caregiver role because I had expected the task to be totally in my hands.
Now I pushed out of the way while my mom falls through the cracks...I stepped aside last time and she almost died due to poor management of her health.
I live directly next door to her and care for many animals...I can not let her fall into neglect again.
How do I approach her on this problem when she seems content to rely on a son who is less concerned with her health then control of her checkbook???

If you his wife, why is the brother in charge? I went thru a simeler situation but went to court, they appointed a Guardian who handled Finances,etc. I took over day to day care, but had NO control over finances. This was for the best - no question of financial gain on my part, fine with me, and I got to take care of my father with no one thinking I had a "Agenda". I loved my dad, he passed peacefully. God be with you - go to court - do not let your brother or anyone else take over the situation.
