Siblings that refuse to help

 I don't understand why my siblings won't help. I mean I am now a single mother and I have more health problems than they do but it makes no difference. I get so upset and depressed because of this.  Can anyone relate to this ? Give me some ideas how I can get them to help.

Re: Siblings that refuse to help

Hello there...My husband has stage 4 lung cancer with metastites to the brain and bone.  I had to quit work to take care of him 100% of the time.  He has one brother, he lost his sister 3 years ago to brain cancer.  His one living sibling does nothing to help us.  I have to do the lawns, which are huge, clean and vacuum the pool, clean the house, cook his dinner, take him to multiple doctor appts and treatments daily sometimes.  Not ONE of his family members, parents, siblings, cousins, nothing has offered one time to help me.  they have asked if they can bring over dinner from some resturant, my husband does not like any of thier cooking and hates take out.  so that is a definate NO!  My husband is now in a wheelchair due tot he cancer being in the leg bones I had to build a ramp for him so that I can move the wheelchair easier.  Lucky I am able to take care of everything. 

 MY daughter moved home and is now helping me, she is 21.

 Do you have any children that are of the age to help?  I think you can contact the hospital that you are treating at, if driving is a problem, they can shuttle you to appt's.  If you are unable to cook for yourself, what about meals on wheels?  If you are affiliated with a church, maybe they can help as well....

Good luck and God Bless
