Advice Question

I realy need some advice here

my grandma lives three hours away. bruce, her husband, and her are planning to move down here. but bruce has gambled away all of their money, they have no car, neither of them work, they have no credit. and now bruce tryed to kill himself the other day and is now in the hospital.

my grandma isnt close at all to any of her childeren and even though my mom leaves almost in tears every time she sees or talks to her, my mom is the only one of their family members who gives a crap at all. they will surely want to move in with us and want my mom to cover most of their expences, but we cant do that. we dont have the room in our house. we barely make ends meet now as it is.

They smoke two packs a day even though they are both on oxygen, so our house would soon be as smokey as theirs was. and since my mom only quit a few months ago, that would probably start her smoking again.

my grandma upsetts my mom so much wen she talks to her, im sure my grandma moveing in would send my mom into another deperssion. i know because my grandma has moved in with us befor and it happened then too. we cant go through that again.

they have to sleep in seperate rooms so our living room would turn into my grandmas and bruce would get my moms room and my mom would have to sleep on the couch, that would hurt her back. most of our stuf would be put into storeage to make room for all of bruces clutter.

im afraid bruce will manage to con my mom out of her money like he did to my grandma. he is a sociopath and could be more dangerous if he werent so old and frail.

but at the moment we are their only option. and i kno niether my mom or i are selfish enough to tell them not move in, and leave them with no place to stay. ive got to do something about this. i mean ill be fine, i can just hole up in my room and hide there like i do at my dads. but them moveing in is gonna make my mom miserable in her own home and i cant let her live like that. i want to do something to s

I don't know if this would help, but maybe your mom could check with social services where your grandmother lives. Some places have assitance that help seniors and still allow them to live independant. If their area does provide such services, they could have a nurse come in now and then to see how they are doing. At the very least, social services could advise your mom of possible options. It's important to help family, but we each have to realize there are limitations of what we can do. Hope that helps.
