[quote=Anonymous]Got into a nasty texting fight with my two sisters this afternoon as I'm trying to cook ahead for tomorrow.  I was already feeling sad about all the problems the care of my aging parents has made for the relationship of we three siblings.  I have posted here before.  I have two sisters who live near my parents in a rural area 2 hours from here.  I live close-in in the DMV.  They regularly castigate me for not helping enough with parental problems.  I get no credit for the things I have contributed and to punish me for my supposed laziness they will randomly stop speaking to me. They keep telling me to "come down and help" yet when I ask questions about what kind of help is needed or ask for an update about my dad they hold the information hostage.  They do not see how I can't help if they don't keep me informed.  I should add that recently my mom was in the hospital in DC and I handled all the visits and care coordination while she was nearby hoping they would see that when distance wasn't such an issue I could be more helpful.  I have also spent a lot of time on the phone recently trying to get her into an adult daycare.  I am good at paperwork stuff and all that is done over the phone but because it's me they won't even help with transportation for the trial visit she needs to do at the center before she can officially sign up (and then get free transportation). I have offered to pay for the day care too but that doesn't count either.   My DH read the texts and can't believe how nasty they've been.  What's more, neither of them is treating my mom particularly well.  Their visits with my mom are quick and consist of helping to pick up her place and taking out her trash.  It's not like they are giving her a ton of time.  They are just angry and taking it out on me and I don't know how to get them to stop.  [/quote]
