[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your siblings need to know what's happening with you. Call them and let them know how you feel and ask for their input. Candidly tell them that it has become too much for you to solely care for her. Are they sharing any expenses?[/quote] This rarely goes well. If you do it, don't do it trying to guilt trip them or push them to take on more. They have their boundaries. If you genuinely think they don't know and would want to step up, then inform them. Otherwise, if anything you can brainstorm next step, but you cannot expect them to take this on especially if you see how miserable you are. She's not going to be easier for them to take on and they may have understood from the start that was not a reasonable solution. Now, if they aren't on board with moving her to AL and they think you should suck it up, then you insist it's their turn.[/quote]
