That makes it doubly tough. We have a RWNJ for a brother...and it was the same, he would not help with any care for our folks...he was only after money. He was and is a a genuine psychopath according to my therapist. Little did he know, our parents knew who he was and changed their will to a 40/40/20 distribution for the three of us. He called me names I can’t repeat...it was a horrendous few months. I wrote him a check when I sold our parent’s home and car and haven’t heard from him since and neither has my sister. This shouldn’t be how it is. I’m very sorry about your folks.
