Thanks H3rmit. I'm glad I'm not totally off my rocker for thinking and feeling this way. I've never had to take care of someone like this, especially a parent. And it's so much more difficult when there's not a lot of love for that parent. I do what I do out of obligation, not out of love. But I feel that the act of taking care of someone, even and especially when you don't want to, is an act of love nonetheless. Unfortunately, if my sister and I don't do it, no one will. Her mom is very sick and her brothers and sister are...flaky and unhelpful, to be nice.

Thank you for making me feel normal.
