They have social workers on call 24 hour seven days a week who will answer your questions, And who can also email or mail you resources available to your sibling in your city to help you the caregiver and help your sibling: such as insurance paid for nursing services where a nurse will come over do housekeeping laundry and showering of your sibling for you.
This is also something your sibling’s doctor can write a referral For so that your siblings insurance will cover the service.

Thanks for the suggestions, but she absolutely refuses and says I'm autistic when I try to address her behavior.
Another problem is if I tell the authorities it's her mess and she denies it, I have no way of proving I'm not equally responsible for the mess.
I'm having a really bad day and I can't get anything done and I haven't gotten around to having breakfast yet. Every time we have a fight, she says that everyone else hates me and says bad things about me andnthat theynlike her better. This leavea me wondering who among my friends and family actually like me and who I can trust. Mayb she is just lying to get under my skin and I have tontry to forget all the times she said these things.
