By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.

Stigma? From whom? I would not put up with BS like this from any human on the planet.
You can love your mother and not tolerate her bad behavior. You can send nice cards, cat videos and boxes of candy. You do not owe her your life.
It seems, based on your past posts, that your mother agrees with whomever is in the room and slanders each of you to the other.
This is what happens in dysfunctional families. There is no cure other than to let time heal these wounds after mom's passing.
That may or may not be possible, but I don't see any chance for an honest conversation right now if mom continues to stir the pot (which she may not realize she is doing).
In summary they don’t trust me. And I certainly don’t trust them given the bullying and emotional abuse they have heaped on me. I’ve talked about this in therapy and don’t get any clear support whether to just go completely NO contact with my mother so as to end this. People who are estranged from their mothers face a lot of stigma.
I feel like an unloved daughter. I will always be their (brothers) scapegoat -they learned it from mom.
But I still can’t help loving her.
If MOM wants you on the contact list, it should be easy to get that done. Unless of course what is actually happening is that mom is telling everyone a different story and stirring the pot, inadvertently or not.
I am so very sorry for the challenges you are dealing with. Sometimes it can be worked out. Sometimes not.
I don’t know the answer to this. I do want to offer support and sincerely hope that this will be resolved peacefully.
