At this point, no. They're arguably more afraid of me. Which is ironic since it was my sister who had admittedly planned to stuff them in a nursing home and sell off their property ASAP...the golden child they originally placed all their bets on.

Spoiled children don't develop genuine compassion, at least not on their own. Compassion in conjunction with empathy is the #1 reason offspring would bother trying to maintain the domestic independence and dignity of senior parents outside of a nursing home in the west. Not money, not honor, not tradition....compassion. Which our parents diligently negated in my sister's favored upbringing, much at the expense of their other children. Colleagues of my parents went through the same misstep and warned them about the pit they were digging for themselves, well over a decade too late.

I was apparently the runner up choice to eventually be my parents' POA, despite being the least favored child due to my homosexuality and wedding they weren't invited to. My eldest brother resides in a psyche ward. And my younger brother is a financially inept drug addict who can barely look after himself. Once our parents realized they raised their daughter to be a Cruella de Vil, suddenly I became important to their life plans again. Of which I made clear I am not interested.

And no, I don't resent my sister's ruthless character. She's a product of the hands that molded her and she's been wise enough to leave me out of her plots entirely.
