Am looking forward to chat with people about similar issues. At the moment my concerns are my homeless 60-year-old sister. Of course I have a few things myself.....insecurities, panic attacks... Working on my 5 posts!

Watching a family member, struggling to meet basic living situations sounds tough. What's going on? I have watched various family members, struggle with housing before. There were also addictions involved, subsequent money mismanagement.

She has been irresponsible all her life. We lived at my Dads house after he died she ran out of money and we had to sell inherited house, could not afford to support her. But, I wanted out so that was ok. I have helped her get jobs, included her in lots of my outings with friends, etc. she has done a lot of crappy things....left an apartment full of furniture, big mess after her landlord really helped her, she has stolen from jobs she has had, from my Dad (his pain pills), accused me of cheating on the estate from Dad, I did not. Will not take any suggestions for helping herself now. She knew she had to leave her apartment a year in advance and did nothing to secure housing, did not save a dime, spent a lot of inherited money on purses. I asked her "where did you think you were going to move to?" Her answer "I don't know, in my car". It goes on and on....I have let her stay with me, given her money, printed out loads of info for her. Again, I asked her after everyday at library looking at Craigslist...have you called anyone about a place? "No" "Why I ask?" I don't know she says.....I can't stand her anymore for so many years of b.s. From her. Her son has abandoned her as well. But she is my sister.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
