mom's been living with me for a couple of months.  she's 83.  i've posted her several times but not lately.  main issues are i can't find time or energy to care for myself and cats, siblings aren't helping out enough, mom is often very ungrateful, ... as i am writing this i realize i am too tired to complete it.  that's it in a nutshell really.  this situation is draining every last drop out of me.  i guess i have to go eat and try to get to bed asap.  every day is about mom.  at first it was ok but now it makes me feel sad and desperate.  what about me.  when do i get my turn.  i don't even have any kids. meanwhile, my psycho sister is cavorting around the world and when she does come back she is always too busy to help.  she is a effin piece of work and dealing with her is hell.  i wouldn't have anything to do with her but my mom is staying with me and when it is convenient she wants to stop by and see her.  drives me totally nuts.  i do all the hard work and when it's convenient for her she stops by and takes her out for an hour or something.  my sister also talks down to me and does the whole sociopathic circuit of behaviors like testing boundries, torturing mentally for sport, lying, changing history, completely unable to take any responsibity, extremely cold, etc.  if you have known a sociopath/narcissist you probably know what i mean.  anyway, she's very hard to deal with.  feeling pretty used right now.  there really is no reasoning with my sister but i don't want to cut her off from my mom completely because i feel that would be wrong. i'm just sooooo tired.  my whole family is very difficult and always have been. as i get older, i can see how growing up in the family i have has taken a huge toll on me.  there is a tremendous lack of support coming from my family.  well, i guess i did find the strength to write a little bit.  i'm really grateful for this site.  it's great to come here and vent and chat.
