[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am really sorry you are in this difficult situation.  It seems like your sister and stepfather are really letting the family down, and your mother is being unrealistic, and it is all falling on you.

This is going to sound harsh.  But the bottom line is, your stepfather is neglecting your mother, and it is unsafe for her to live with him.  It's nice that you love him, but that doesn't change the fact that your mother is unsafe.  You are spinning your wheels trying to find a way out of an impossible situation.   Sending her home is not going to shock him.  He is already neglecting her and being in denial of the obvious need for care.  Sending her home sick and vulnerable will just prolong this situation.  Yes, he owes it to her, but so what?  You can't force someone to be a caregiver.

Something has to give, and maybe that should be your relationship with your stepfather.  Seriously, he is treating your mother badly, and he will not listen to reason.  You can mend fences with him later, after your mother is SAFE.[/quote]
