It's you again.

You have a lot of anxiety that makes you chose the wrong course of action and then makes your situation worse. Mostly you suffer from perfectionism and a martyr complex.

It's OK to let other people suffer the consequences of their poor choices. If your sister or parents want your help, you can say no. If they end up in crappy nursing homes, that's fine. Your sister is dealing with a lot, and it would be nice to help her, but you can't. End of story.

You don't need to martyr yourself at home either. Anything cosmetic is not an emergency and no reason to push yourself. Pay someone else to deal with house repairs. Do regular yoga to protect your joints and musculature.

I care about my folks and it makes me angry that they have choices they won’t exercise. That’s normal. I agree about paying someone else to do home repairs since my husband is too busy with his hobby. I said that he no longer gets the benefit of ‘let’s talk about what to do’[/quote]
