Watching the love of your life leave this world should be the pinnacle and end of your pain for a while. Please, seek for your happiness. Do it for you- for your daughter.

if my memory serves your sister is supposed to be paying rent, and isn't. I don't know what the story with your mom is. I'd want out of it too, to a point they are being a rather large burden for you as you are also paying all Utilities and food. Your sister shouldn't be freeloading.
do what's best for you in the long term. Do what feels right.
