I feel very anxious and depressed because I'm having family problems. It has to do with my mother's inheritance. I'm disabled, and they want to send me away to this apartment in a very bad neighborhood. I"m used to living with my family in my mother's duplex. Once my mother dies(I hope she never does), I have to leave this house and leave it to my two sisters and son living here, I don't think this is fair. My mother also has accounts in the bank in my sisters and my son's name. They tell me I'll lose my benefits if I get anything from my mother. I don't know if I'm going to be able to live by myself and afford everything. I need advice, please.

It sounds like you need an advocate, legal advice. I don't think its true that you'd lose yr benifits if you inherited. Have you tried telling yr family that?

Yes, Ive tried to tell them but they don't listen. I can't talk to my mother about it because she gets hysterical, and the other day I had a big fight with one of my sisters.

Bullshit. The inheritance of a home does not affect any benefits I ever heard of.

Get Legal Aid. You are being screwed for some reason. Living in a bad neighborhood is bad for your mental health. So are arsehole families.

Search out for an advocate. Your family is using bipolar and disability as an excuse.

Your mom could disinherit you for any reason or no reason.

BUT, you can sue your brothers and sisters even if you are bipolar because they are alienating your mother from you and consequently your inheritance. They are also alienating your son. You'd have a good case because they are currently letting you live there, so it is not your behavior that is in question, just your diagnosis/disability.

It is likely that if you get an advocate or an attorney, your family will back off and make equitable arrangements.

Would you please provide more information? Are you on SSI or SSDI?

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
