Yep! I have two siblings and because our mother squandered her savings on living above her means, she has to move out of her apartment in three months. She demanded and threatened that I move in with her, and ignored the boundaries I set up when I told her no. We all asked her to move in with her sister, who's also a widow, whose mortgage is paid off. But my aunt (her sister) is just as belligerent as our mother is (go figure, they're sisters). It makes the most economical sense, but they're both acting like fools.

I emailed our mother about 30 different apartment complexes she could afford but she has refused to follow up on those leads. She wants to be belligerent and threaten me to be her roommate (won't happen!), and also play the victim which is rich, considering she with held inheritance from her three children when their father died, and anytime she lent us money from his estate, would put ridiculous, demeaning conditions on her "financial loans." Now, she borrows money from her brother, because she refuses to manage what little social security she has left. She's irresponsible with money, yet its her three children's fault. She sleeps on her sofa all day with the lights off, the tv blaring, doesn't eat much, and takes 12 medications. She's a trainwreck and none of us can afford to put her in a nursing home. There are HUD nursing homes that we could put her in, but the waiting list for a spot in those is 6 months to a year out, due to the fact that many senior citizens can't financially afford the high rent for senior apartment buildings.

When she bought a new car, I asked her to give me her old, broken down minivan and the title to it. She REFUSED to give me the title to it for 6 years. The only reason she finally gave it to me, was because I asked my BIL whom she respects, to get involved and speak to her (he seems to be the only one who can manage her unstable moods).
I could have traded in her minivan for its bluebook value at the time which was over $6K and bought a newer, used car. But she's irrational and mean. Took me 6 years to get that van's title, and the minute I did, I traded it in for a newer used car which enraged her because she couldn't control her mid-40s daughter's life choices.
