Siblings want mom in a nursing home.?


We have an all out war in the family because of this. My self I can stay at home and care for her. I have over 18 yrs. working in a nursing homes. I know what is coming down the road. The only one getting hurt in this fight is my mom.
She has memory problems and really gets lost about this fighting. She wants them to visit. Back in July when this all started. Both siblings had yelling cussing fights with me. I don't want them around because of these attacks. But this choice is not being fair to our mom. Because this is my home as much as my moms. We came up with house rules. No fighting or leave. My part of this. I didn't listen to their opinions. I'm the one doing the work. To me their opinion didn't change anything. Also I'm on disability. I stay at home any how. Question how do we all come up with a workable solution? We don't have to like each other.

The fight started while my mom was in the hospital. The Dr.'s were not going to release her with out 24/7 care. This was from a attempted suicide.
While she was in the hospital. All of us went to the house and cleaned it up, to make it safer. She was a shut in.
I was shocked they were mad over our mom coming home. I didn't understand " why they helpped to clean the house. If they were so against her coming home. They are angry because I went ahead and did this made arangements for her to come home. From what I understand is I took over and ran the show. This has been going on for 8 months. My brother returned his birthday card and money. No one has called her. She's getting hurt by them because they are angry with me. While she was in the hospital 4 days. They were all there most of the time and helping with the house.

I am sorry, but you are not clear on several things:
1. What brought up the fight about your mom needing to go to a nursing home?
2. Where do you live? Are you living in your mom's home or do you have a place of your own?
3. What are your mom's health/mental conditions?
4. If you are doing the work, why would your siblings care where she lived? Does she need a safer environment?

I think you need to find someone who would be willing to arbitrate this problem without bias. You may check with a local church to see if the pastor/priest/etc. would be willing to help arbitrate it. I think you need the honest opinion of someone who does not know any of you to come to a solution.
