[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m curious about the phrase “abdicating her role.” Who decided it was hers and hers alone? And forever! I bet she took it on because she realized no one else would step up and now..she’s had enough. She needs to have a life too.

I’m the person who cares for my mom and it’s endless. She calls every day, sometimes multiple times, with something. She has Alzheimer’s and it’s going to be a very long hard road. As it’s I’m always taking time out of my life with demanding job and two teens to deal with her needs and that’s even with assisted living. My sibling(who has no family obligations at all- no spouse or kids) calls once every few weeks (actually just returns her calls) and sees her once a year. You have no idea of the burnout that can occur.

You have nonright to be angry at sister. You should be grateful she did it for five years while you did nothing.

Hire help. Move her or move yourself.when you and other sister have done 5 years then come back and complain.

Yep. My mom is in assisted living but there’s still a lot to do.  And I have a teen too. She’ll be headed to college in 2 years and I feel like I’m missing so much time with her.  I was literally crying this morning. [/quote]
