friends help: My aunt, who’s a diabetic, moved back to my town after - Help.com



This post left anonymously

My aunt, who’s a diabetic, moved back to my town after leaving for two years…

she’s unable to support herself, and was, up until recently, living with a friend from the church. Right when we got home from a fun family outing to my High School’s football game, the friend, Josh, called my mom, my aunt’s sister, to come and get my aunt because he couldn’t handle her living with him and his wife any longer…

Now, my mom’s crying, my dad’s pissed, and my other aunt, who lives with us, is depressed (she’s lived with my other aunt and hated it)… and they’re trying to figure out what to do with her…

We’re having a hard time with money, but she can’t stay here, either… we can’t afford to put her up in a hotel or anything like that, and we can’t afford to buy her a ticket back to where she came from…

any advice?

she may be ill but unless she has deminished capacity and cannot think for herself then she certainly should be doing for herself and if she is not she is just unfairly using your soft spot to control you which is really kinda unfair! that would tend to make me angry towards her so maybe someone just needs to tell her she has to figure things out for herself you have your own problems. direct her to a local shelter and if she doesn’t like that then maybe it will motivate her to do more for herself

You can go to the local Goodwill center, they will help her find a job and/or train her. You can also try your luck at online charities like Modest Needs, people may send donations, if your requirement is genuine. From http://www.laodn.org/
