This must be very hard. My thoughts are with you.

No, it wasn't a typo. I suppose I was just thinking it might be easier to begrudgingly go along with your family while you are there, rather than argue. I am coming from a biased perspective because I have been put in this situation with my own mom. When I visit her I find it easier to just go along with her rather than argue... But the stress is still there.
I'm glad to hear you were able to leave and are now living on your own.
With your father ill, I imagine everyone is even more stressed than usual. But it is no reason to treat you, or anyone else with disrespect. I see what you mean about not wanting to call your sister by this particular name, if your other sister doesn't do it either. It sounds like a hard situation. Abuse gets passed along in families in insidious ways.
It sounds like you are there to help out as your father is in critical care. You will not have to stay thank god. Keep taking deep breaths.
I wish I had more helpful advice. All I can say is I hear you...
