Take a deep cleansing breath my dear and let it out slowly. It sounds like your niece is being well taken care of by the family. I know it's such a hard thing to hear about and go through. Thank goodness the bf was found out so soon rather than much later! She has a chance at working through this and learning well from it. You are such a good aunt to be so concerned for her. I'm sure she appreciates you for that!
I can certainly understand your mixed emotions about your mom. Go with what your gut tells you on this issue hon. You can only do what you can do and no more than that. Take care of YOU through this.
Breathing problems do crop up sometimes from anesthesia. I pray your sister is well taken care of and that she will get through this quickly. I'm glad the surgery went well.
I know it seems like it's one thing after another at times. Right now you are dealing with so much. Know you are in my thoughts and prayers and hoping that you can lean on us when you need to.
