In defense of my sister (and others who claim to care about me), they are going through rough times too - physically, emotionally and financially.
I suspect the only reason they turn their backs on me is because of my terminal status (amyloidosis). Even when explained to them, they don't understand the mechanism of the disease and how it progresses - much less the emotional aspects of being alone for over a decade with only myself, the TV or the radio to converse with (my husband and son are too busy with work, school and chores). My eyesight is extremely distorted and limited due to corneal lattice dystrophy - they can't possibly understand how I see things.
They don't know how to comfort or support me. They remember how I used to be, and it scares them to know I'll be left out in the cold one day - at the mercy of wolves. There's nothing they can do. There's nothing anyone can do about my situation.
