just how did we get to this point?

My brother is putting the finishing touches on mother's money being put in a trust. I asked him why this was so important other than obvious, since she will have to go to assisted living. His answer was in case she gets married and the ole coot tries to get her money away from her.  Married? My brother obviously has no sense of reality where his mother is concerned why else would he make a statement like that? I emailed him this week, mentioning mother's foray with a new medicine, that left her incoherent, completely immobile for part of the day, no clear speech and just bewildered. Second email about the fact the assisted living spot has a private suite now available and she could move in very soon.  I got a one sentence email that said we are putting finishing touches on the trust and moving now wouldn't be a good idea. OH YEAH? no name no thanks for taking off work to stay with mother on thursday when she couldn't function, nothing about her health issues.  I write frequently to let him know what is going on and never hear a word.  Why does this frustrate me so, and why doesn't he care enough to do anything to help me? I recently signed 67 savings bonds, copied each of them, recorded them on official paper and mailed them off, registering the mail so it would arrive safely. Only thing he had to say was hurry up and get that money in the bank, and amazingly mother remembered I was working on this and has asked me several times when she was going to get her money. But last weekend she asked me who my mother was....
Dementia has had it's way with me for too long now, I am not liking it one bit.
