Thanks Austin and Kelley. Pam, baby sister, with her job is out of town alot. Sheila, our older sister....hmmmm....she is the one with ALL the answers to
EVERYBODY's problems. Honestly, it's soooo hard for me to ask anybody for anything. And I know being superwoman will kill me....put me in the hospital last year. They did have to step up then....LOL...but before they put me in the hospital...I came home....took care of mom's medication for 2 weeks. Made notes and anything else I could think of. I didn't tell them (my family) the reason why they were putting me in the hospital....just that they were going to make some medication adjustments and wanted me in a safe place.

I'm not perfect by Noooo means.... I love my mom... and when I start fussing or complaining... I always say to whoever I'm talking to.... I love my mom, but....

Again....rambling. But thanks for letting me ramble.

hi bamaellie!
what a great start =) I just started on this site also. So far, I have had some really great feeback. And it's so wonderful to read posts that are so similar to my situation. I recently moved back in take care of my mother for the 2nd time in my life. This time it's for the long haul. Married couple needing a divorce and quick describes us! It's why I'm here. My brother helps us out financially here and there, when he can. He can't handle what is happening to mom emotionally, so it's just me. I'm so glad your sisters have stepped up and realized you need help. Austin is very correct, lock them into things! And yes, don't be afraid to let go of some of the control. If you need something extra, ASK. That never hurt.

lock your sisters into jobs that they are responsible for at the get go like food shopping of paying certain bills or taking Mom out once a week for fast food etc and maybe your brother can send say 25 or 30 dollars a week so you can hire someone to fix a door etc- if you do not ask they will think you are supperwomen-just a suggestion-I do not like to tell people what to do - this is from my heart.
