My cousin and I are taking care of our mothers. My mother lives with me and my brother helps out. Living together makes it easier for me to know whether my mother is doing OK. I worry about my aunt. She lives by herself in a small apartment not too far from my cousin’s house. The two of them are like oil and water. They have never gotten along, but my cousin is the only one who lives nearby. My aunt needs help now on a daily basis, and my cousin is thinking about putting her in a nursing home. What could be stopping my cousin from letting her mother live with her?
