Is it incumbent upon the questioner, her father, and her siblings to accede to their mother's wish to host her sister—who suffers from behaviors described by the consultant as "crooked"—for a month or more, knowing that the mother suffers from chronic illnesses and the aunt has caused a deterioration in her health, and that the aunt requires care and dedicated attention, and her brothers have refused to seek psychological treatment for her?
A sick and elderly maternal aunt must be cared for, as her right is great and she is in the position of a mother. All family members, including the mother, father, and children, must bear the responsibility and participate in serving her. Her care can be distributed among siblings by rotation, or she can be admitted to a nursing home with continued visits and care, remembering that everyone is susceptible to such illnesses.
