My two older sisters and I take turns caring for our 81-year-old mom who is a recovered alcoholic (we took it away from her three years ago.) There were many years of physical and emotional abuse on all four of us-my brother doesn't even come around except once in a while.
My oldest sister's behavior has become a concern to me because now when we go to a family picnic or together at an activity, she's always late and in a panic because she puts off all preparations until the last minute, and when she gets to the gathering she is so angry and verbally abusive to everyone-just if one little thing doesn't go her way and comes off without a hitch. she can't seem to go with the flow, complains about everything, and makes it less enjoyable for everyone else. I see people steering clear of her because of her incessant complaining. She refuses my help with preparations, and then goes ballistic when something goes wrong. Am I justified for not attending this time, and be honest as to why?
