You have said you don't know where to start to look for companion care.  If that's the route they want you to take in order to get breaks, then THEY need to be responsible for locating services and making arrangements.  If you don't assert yourself now about the need for help and sharing responsibilities this is going to be a living hell.[/quote]

+1. I was the poster that suggested you give it six months, but I take it back. You and your siblings are not on the same page. This is an excellent opportunity to get there. do you have any friends that you can bounce ideas off of and have as emotional support.

I'd almost suggest getting an elder care expert involved and do a mediation. What's happening with your mother's finances? Is there an option for her to go into assisted living? She'd have a much wider social circle there I would think.

Also, be gentle with yourself - if you stand up for yourself there's going to be blaming, guilting, and bullying. Don't sacrifice every bit of yourself because everyone is treating you badly.[/quote]
