[quote=Anonymous]OP checking back in. Thanks for the supportive responses. To clarify-yes, I have kids of my own and a husband. No, I didn't get more help or money than my siblings. Ironically the sibling who is the most irritating is the one who was practically estranged from my parents for a while. She could not get along with either parent and when she swoops in wanting a standing ovation for visiting she usually stresses them out as much as she stresses me out. I am trying to just step back and disengage. She has trouble getting along with people at work too and in her personal life outside of us so it's just her being her, but life was easier when she focused on other things like her hatred of her ex and her problems with her child. I think she is pretty lonely too and she tries to create situations where we have to deal with her. She'll call me hysterical about one of the doctors we found who is practically walking distance and make life easier for the parent who is still high functioning. I have met this doctor and think he's great and have been to appointments, but she will obsess because she found 1 bad review out of 20. She never met him. [/quote]
