    I have a girlfriend, we’re both in our fifties, she has known her whole life that she will eventually be looking after her brother (who is high needs disabled). She’s been depressed for decades knowing that her life will be over once she has full time care of him.
    It’s not fair. So far she has always come second and been basically ignored her whole life. She was even told by her mother that the only reason she was born, was so she could be her brothers carer.
    Disgustingly unfair 🥺🥺

      She should seriously investigate care homes in her area now, and talk with her parents about funds that might available to pay for it once they’re gone. I’ve known disabled people that truly blossomed when given a more independent, supportive group living environment, even those who required complex medical or behavioral care. Families can have way more meaningful visits when they aren’t exhausted and anxious. Just a thought. That’s so hard.

She even told all of us, her friends, that, with no shame. At all. The mind boggles. 😐😐 both her parents hung onto their Wills until they were both diagnosed with dementia, which means the existing Will stands. In saying all that, three of her very closest friends are Probate lawyers. We are all over the situation and are going to make sure that the rest of her life is not burdened further.
      This woman has been emotionally abused for her entire life, I can guarantee that it’s going to stop.

      Just so you know, most of the disabled community prefers the term “disabled”. The use of differently-abled implies that the word disabled is bad, which it isn’t. Of course every individual is different, but the general consensus is that acting like disabled is a bad word further contributes to ableism. I am disabled, and I personally agree wit that.

      Oh, that’s classic. Mouth those right wing reactionary talking points why don’t you! Do you charge by the minute to parrot Lou Dobbs?
      It’s not as simple as you assume. It’s very easy to dispense advice about what they “should” have done. But you don’t live in their shoes. You have no idea what their circumstances were.
      They were very close. This is suggestive of a suicide compact. Do you have any idea what the suicide stats are for older people? (Obviously not. Or you just don’t give a damn.)
      Your judgmental response is so predictable. It’s exactly why such people end up despondent. We applaud wealthy tax cheats but condemn the poor as criminals. We love tax cuts for the 2% and don’t care that they are financed by people like these.
      Your view is exactly why people like that feel cornered. Knowing what I do about the so-called “support” systems existent and in place in the US ( especially in GOP strongholds) it’s a wonder that more people don’t go this route. Unfortunately this happens; unless one or both the deceased are prominent, the deaths go by mostly unnoticed by the community.

    It sounds like a complicated situation, not the overly simplistic version that the police were pushing. It sounds like both sisters were ill. Lupus is rough at best, I don't know how she was taking care of her sister. She may be guilty, but it is also possible that the sister may not have wanted to live in another place where she couldn't have her dogs and freedom. Some people just don't like being dependent on others. There is plenty of reasonable doubt, which is why they did a plea deal.

    I rather go to jail for my debts than go to jail killing my sister and her dogs. IDC this was was a very cruel act in my op. She might have had a melt down but it is no excuse to take someone else's life. After killing her why is she still alive. Nothing is complicated here. This is a life we are talking about. There is always always another other option. Her sister right now could have been in care but alive, the dogs would have been adopted but alive!

      Go through all of what she did and at the end if you haven't been affected, congratulations. Oh wait.. you can't. You can only judge from the outside with a head full of clarity and an unburdened heart. You see how I just assumed you have no mental or emotional problems in life by saying that? Is it right that I assumed this of you and therefore believe every problem you actually face isn't really a problem at all and you don't deserve any sympathy for that very assumption?
      You know what? Nevermind. I don't condone murder but I can sympathize. And you can't teach that to people like you.

      Assistance dogs Service Dogs and Therapy Animals are a thing especially when it involves someone who has hearing or vision impairment. The dogs likely brought a sense of companionship to the both of them but the mobility aspect is more likely to have been the main reason that the dogs were involved with the sisters.
      The stress was more likely from the money and being harassed by debt collectors whilst seeing her own health and her sisters health decline.
      The case to me errs on the side of euthenasia (albeit in the most horrific manner conceivable under the definition of murder)...

I'm so lucky to have a family who will do anything for us both. I can't imagine not having that support 😒. Carers allowance in the UK is only 270 pound a month and 150 for carers credits. How our shitty government expects someone to support themselves on that, it's just an added pressure and I wouldn't be surprised if tragedies arose around that with the cost of living crisis and even our food banks struggling! So you've picked a relevant case for our times. Great work. 👌👌
