I'm awake, too.

I've been planning a birthday open house for my mother. A very troubled sister is doing her best to create family turmoil re: the planned gathering.
She does this whenever family hopes to get together for a peaceful, fun time.
She's being confronted by family members this time and she's acting out worse than ever.

She lives 5 miles away and has refused to come by to see her mother for the past 6 years because she's angry we've taken our elderly mom in to live with us. Yet, this sister swears she would never take our mother in, no matter what.

Our mother needs help and gets too lonely and depressed living alone. H and I are the only adult children willing to help her. I have become my sister's target because we help our mother.

It's too much turmoil. There is no reasoning with this sister. She lives as a very bitter, raging active alcoholic. She often shows up to a function and tries to ruin it. She refuses to get any help. Her husband comes with her to functions and acts out, too. They are in their 50's.

She's already making calls, texts, emails to people, calling me vulgar names for my planning a party for our mother. it all seems so insane to me.

I don't need the stress.

I need some sleep.

Thanks for letting me vent.
