Macaulay Culkin's Mother, Patricia Brentrup, Reportedly Battling Alzheimer's and Financial Struggles

According to reports, Patricia Brentrup, the 70-year-old mother of actor Macaulay Culkin, is facing significant health and financial challenges. Sources claim she has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Her husband, Mart Cox, reveals the couple is struggling financially, living on a fixed income in Montana. Cox states that Macaulay Culkin provides some financial support, sending around $1000 per month. However, he claims that Kieran Culkin offers no assistance, despite expressing gratitude towards his mother in the past. The brothers have reportedly been estranged from their father, Kit Culkin, for three decades. Patricia Brentrup's health has reportedly declined following a stroke. Cox says her memory span is now limited to about five minutes. He believes these issues, combined with their financial situation, make it difficult for her sons to visit. He remains proud of her sons' achievements, especially Kieran's recent Oscar win.
