OP - I know the Silver Spring area quite well in general as our oldest daughter lives there with her family.  We visit and could see cost wise it is a better place for seniors than say on the Virginia side of DC.  Driving if you avoid the beltway is manageable for a senior who drives and there is a wide variety of activities.  
I tell you to set your boundaries because I know both of our older daughters are busy with jobs and school aged children so we schedule visits on both ends as we can be busy, too.  Maybe having our youngest daughter with a cognitive disability living with us makes me more aware of boundaries as we see she has activities, too.  You  are wise to let how your parents support or enable your sister as a separate issue.  Remember your priority needs to be your own family of DH and children.[/quote]

Op here. Thank you. You sound like a wonderful parent and grandparent. I see now that my mom conditioned both my sibling and I to believe that her happiness is more important than our own, so it’s hard to completely rid that feeling from my mind and actions. But for the sake of my own family I am
Trying hard to set boundaries. [/quote]
