Bio

I am 53 years old and was a nurse so my other family member look to me for help when a medical problem occurs or my mother tells me that she feels sick. My mother lives with my older sister, about 15 minutes away, and I am often called upon to assist with medical help, staying with my mother, and general help. My older sister is extremely difficult to deal with and has been abusive to me by screaming and calling me names. I have gone more than halfway to have a good relationship with her, but she continues to be abusive, hostile, and flies into rages at me. She acts as though she hates me and I believe she does. I only go over to her house when my brother-in-law is home, because she won't act up as much when he is there. He won't let her rage at me and tells her to be quiet. She also yelled at my mother and I called APS on her, now my sister is looking for a assisted living facility for my mother. I am ambivalent about the assisted living, but I feel that it would be beneficial for my mother to get away from my sister's attitude. I am not in a position to have my mother live with me and take care of her, because I am disabled. However, the thought of my mother living in a facility still makes me shudder even though I know there are good facilites out there and I could visit her more often. I continue to be optimistic and will do all that I can for my mother.
