When is enough really enough?

This is a very good question where no one really knows the answer. If you do know, please tell me as I really want to know. The reason, now my sister's ex husband is either out of a job or he is facing difficulties. So he is not giving my mom any more money. In fact, he is not even able to give my sis her alimony.

So we decided to give Little Energizer Rabbit $700 as a whole. Half from me and half from sis. Is this enough? Looking at things from a normal point of view, she has 700 to spend on anything she wants. It is a luxury when you think that some people have only 1.5k salary and they have to use it to pay for food and so on... So in theory, it should be enough.... But after 6 years of having 2plus k each month and 1 plus k each month, my sis asked her if she had any savings and she said she had none.... So where did all the money go?

That is where my pain comes from, it is all wasted. Admittedly she did spend a bit on us all. But then it is mostly money that was wasted away seeing doctors and so on and not taking medicines. So how can I recoup? Is what we give her enough? What happens when she says that it is not enough???

My gentle readers, that is why I said that mental problems are the hardest medical problems to treat. In the end, we spend time, money and effort and it is up to the patient to want to get better. This sickness is such that she will not get any better. She wants to d her teeth, still wants to go to her cancer doctor and so on.... In the end, if she is diagnosed with cancer again, then how? I am not advocating death for her... but perhaps sometimes, an early death will help all those surviving because if she eats through all the money, then we are truly better off dead.
