right now, vast and overwhelming describes my sadness and anger as well.
I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate my family.
I can never do anything right. All of the work I have done writing letters and banging on doors to get my mother a place and she decides she won't take it because it's "inconvenient" for my siblings. Forget the fact that it is near me and I can get there in seconds. Forget that I am the one that brings her to all the doctors, and grocery stores, and pharmacies and so on. That I am the one who got her old house sold and single-handedly cleared out 40 years of life, got all of her addresses changed, got her taxes handled, found a reputable lawyer...all while selling my own home and going thru surgeries and chemo. Forget that I am the only one of her 7 children that took her in when things got so bad with my brother. Forget all that. She needs to be in a location convenient to my siblings. Oh...and she's having thanksgiving at my sister's (who lives nearby) instead of going to my sister's in CT like I had planned out for her.

If it were me, I would just let her know that if she needs a location convenient for my siblings, that (1) she can move in with the sister now and I will arrange to move her stuff there ASAP, and (2) my siblings will be the ones caring for her, since the location is convenient for them. STAND UP FOR YOURSELF, Woman! Picture this happening to Granite and what your response would be on Granite's behalf!
Or not. As you choose. Just my two cents because I adore you and feel that you are being taken advantage of.
