My mother is having a minor issue with a couple of her siblings because she does not want to take in and care for one of her other siblings.

Basically, I have an uncle who has some serious medical issues. He is in the hospital because he had a stroke as well as a diabetic seizure at a local casino. In addition to being sick with additional medical issues, he is homeless as well as has a serious gambling habit. Lastly, he wants family members to take him in, but doesn't want to give anyone any money to stay there nor does he cook, so he expect home cooked meals. He does receive some state money but fucks all of it off at the casino.

Here is my thing about my uncle. I do have some compassion for him, but he can't stay with my mother! She has her own potential life threatening medical issues to deal with, plus she doesn't have the time nor money to care for someone else. She does have the room to take in my uncle, but me and my mother feel that he needs to live at an assisted living facility once he gets out of the hospital.

In all, some of my relatives are giving my mother the blues because they feel he should live with her and doesn't believe in sending family members to nursing homes. I don't believe in getting involved in sibling rivalries or beefs, but EVERYONE in my family knows that my house is off limits! I told my mother that he can't afford to live with me and I refuse to take care of a grown ass man. My uncle needs to find his way and learn to be more responsible for himself and take care of his health along with get rid of his gambling habit.
