Abuse is not the only possible cause. If she has a learning disability, the issues can build up over time before an actual behavior pattern develops. Also if someone is undiagnosed on the autism spectrum (higher functioning) behavior issues can shiw up later in life. Having a tantrum when you discuss the problem is more of a sign that there is an underlying problem than just lazy.....but it is your parents issue to handle tbis, not yours. Maybe it is time for your parents to actually address the problem rather than continuing to tolerate it & try to shove her care off on you when they are no longer around.
Growing up, a neighbor had a baby & it was a hard delivery & oxygen was cut off from the baby's brain for awhile. He has been developmentally challenged all his life. They gave him the training he needed to fulfill his actual life potential given the mental issues & they have him established in a place where he can thrive at his own level. His sister cares about him but they never put his care responsibility on her.
