Mom Update....

[sonofhephaestus]

They doctors are unsure exactly of what is wrong with my mother.
But my family is falling apart...

I'm glad I've kept them all at arms' length for the past few years.

The one thing my doctors are sure of is that  my mother needs higher doses of antidepressants. They thought her dizzy spells were a sign of an oncoming stroke, but they were just dizzy

I don't know if it will help you but I feel inspired to pass along a tidbit I got from friend when dealing with family drama:

Watch it as if you were watching TV. You aren't part of it, you are simply observing others' actions & reactions.

It didn't really make sense to me at first but then I realized that part of the stress of family drama was the role I took/was thrust into when the drama ensued. By "watching it on TV" I could avoid the role I disliked and was hurtful to me. It was confusing to the rest of the fam, but that was part of the show!

I hope things look up for your mom and for you.

ouch.

I want my Sisters T and P to get the appreciation they deserve; but alas, I feel that my mother is completely unable to appreciate anything.

This is very similar to what my mother went through. Not on the finance side, but the complete non-appreciation of what my mother was doing to try and keep my grandmother and grandfather from dying. I hope that your mom does have a change of heart someday and sees what they are doing for her and thank her.
