Only a
part of you wants to retire? My whole spirit would be howling for release.

Justifiably tired! No wonder you feel as you do!
Sounds to me you've been "parentified," made responsible for the happiness of your mother and sister. Living that unnatural role can crush a person. (I know but little of your whole situation, but that's a first impression...)
Here's a PsychCentral blog entry by Samuel López De Victoria, Ph.D on Parentification.
Anony, I don't know how, but I wish you freedom and a refreshed spirit in that freedom.
