- TrustsEveryone has a role in the family. The sibling who lives 2000 miles away and rarely visits his mother may not thoroughly understand the issues of his sister who lives close to Mom and takes care of her daily needs. One sibling may have the ability to financially contribute to financial needs but may feel resentful that another sibling is living rent-free in the family home. A disabled grandchild with special needs may be the beneficiary of a special needs trust set up by his grandparents creating anger or resentment among other grandchildren or their parents. An older adult may articulate many complaints about her health to her daughter who takes care of her on a daily basis, but tell her son who lives far away that she is doing fine and can live alone at home, obviously creating increased frustration and even anger between the siblings who have different opinions regarding mom’s living arrangements.
