Not sure if I can add antyhing of value--everyone has said what matters better than I could. I have to say that I was SHOCKED when you described this woman's lack of care/effort when your mom was ill and dying. That actually brought tears to my eyes. Can you imagine doing that and still claiming the status of friend? I agree with whoever said it's no suprise she's alone at the latter end of her life. And I agree with telling her / writing a letter explaining not only what you will or will not do but also where you're at in your life. The worst that will happen is that she will be mad at you and have to get home help. Whatfuckingever.
