Your right, I sent her money a couple of days ago and now she is on Facebook talking about what she is cooking for dinner so I guess the internet is the first bill she paid. I didn't expect the money to be used for that of course. I'm the Executor and everything is settled really as far as the estate.She has no "share" left, all she has is the half of the house. That's why she can't move out, she has no money and nowhere to go unless we sell it. Just a mess I've gotten myself into and she knows I'm too soft to abandon her. I'm hoping to get it in my head it's ok to do so but it's just hard to do.

I have no idea what you do with the house - it seems like that is too big to just write off and let her live there, wrecking the place. Who is the trustee in charge of the estate? If there isn't one, maybe you could hire a lawyer to start taking care of these things. If the lawyer works for the estate, then the money to pay him/her would be taken out of both your shares, not just yours. Maybe they could start taking rent out of your sister's share as well -- and include the money you've spent to pay bills to ensure the place remains salable.
I am not sure how you can stay on good terms with someone who expects you to bail them out on a regular basis. I'm sorry you are stuck with that no-win situation.
