I have an aunt that has been disabled due to a birth defect. She had a daughter who is now of legal age. They have lived off of state assistance though have come into alot of money which they have sqaundered away.
My Grandpa has paid for the cousin to go through CNA training which she never took the test for. A couple of other vocation training courses which she never followed through on. He also takes her on her weekly or even biweekly trips to the ER. This girl had the chance that he mother never had, to lead a normal healthy life but she wants to be sick for attention. The latest is that she has said that the Dr told her she has a chromosomal birth defect that in short says she should have been born a man. She also says they are giving her testosterone. She is of legal age now so we can not get ahold of her records and her mom is understandibly freaking out. The girl has shaved her head and planning on going to S. Carolina to meet a 35 yo man she met online. I am sure she has munchhausen but not sure whether to approach her mother or my grandfather. She needs help and I need to stop being approached "to help the poor girl" I am giving them no more money or assistance. They in no way have tried to help themselves. What is the best way to approach this? |

In my opinion, there is no need to go into any detail about how you feel with them but simply let them know you aren't in any position to help them financially right now. That should take care of it.

I also support you in NOT giving up money to this. Say your peace and leave it. No sense in continuing to stress over something you have no control over.IMO (((hugs)))

Distance yourself from them, and by no means allow yourself to be giving handouts.
Sounds cruel for me to say, but letting them or her go for a "free ride" all the time, just continues to enable them not to even try, instead just suck off of govt.aid,friends, and family. No one should have to feel obligated to this woman. Just my own feelings. Take care of "yourself".  ((((((((((( whoknowswhatsnext ))))))))))))
