Just an update. I did talk to someone and it seems I don't have enough to take my sister to court over this. Because I manage to avoid serious injury from her dangerous behaviors I can't go after her for nearly killing me a few times. And her being nasty, leaving dog pee everywhere, and being a bully about money is considered only a family dispute.

I have decided to take more control over the business now that I realized she's been managing it like someone with a mental illness. She has driven us to the point of bankruptcy by investing in a series of new ideas that she gets excited about and then abandons before the projects are finished. I think knowing these behaviors are the result of mental illness has made me see thing more clearly.

Things have also been less nasty since I last posted. I think the change in my persoective changed the dynamics a bit. So right now I'm working overtime to get the bills paid and I'm going to stop her destroying the business. I think she is disrupting the business to spite me because the brand is my life's work and she only stopped the destructive behavior when things got so bad thst we might not have a place to live in a few months time.

I think the only way to avoid losing everything is to push on with the projects she invested our money on and finish them. I realized yesterday that if I say I will do the work without her and take all the credit, she will come along cursing and ranting but at least the work will get done. I remembered that in our 20s she would follow me angrily when she couldn't stop me exercising because she was afraid I would get into better shape than her. It's like that with work. She never quits the business even though she says she wants to because she doesn't want me to have more accomplishments than her. It's not ideal, but at least I figured out a way to get things done. And I have to get out of debt in order to get my own place to live so I have to put up with this for now. And I'm going to put my foot down if she tries to invest in another exciting new idea before finishing all the stuff she started.
