I really don't know what to think of my only sister, and her attitude about our mother. As I've shared with all of you here, Mom has terminal cancer. I brought her home from the hospital and Hospice is helping us. For now, Mom is able to get around a bit here in my little house using her walker. She is still mentally alert and not in grave pain, but her time could be very short.
I have taken 4 days off work this past week to help Mom, and get her situated in my home. This evening my sister and her husband brought things from Mom's house to help her feel more at home here. As my sister was leaving, I told her I'd need her help next week and I'd have to go back to work on Monday. Her response, was I'd have to take medical leave because she (sister) "can't handle it." Also, "this was why I didn't want you to do this" (bring Mom home) because it's too stressful for my sister. She even said this right outside Mom's bedroom with Mom fully awake!
My sister doesn't have to work, and never has. All she does is decorate and redecorate her house, and go to church and feel warm and fuzzy.
I'm hurt and I'm hurt for my mom.
Sorry...I just had to vent!
