My sister told us that my mother is pretending to be crazy. She had no remorse in saying that. She didn't visit my dad because she said she had no babysitter. I tried saving the "sisters relationship" for years, but it never worked. She avoids talking about my mom's illness becuase she thinks I'll ask her for some money. (she's not broke; she has plenty, she has a brand new house 2 cars, and only wears high-end purses). My mom's illness costs me a lot of money, I even had to spend what I saved for my business and I don't mind. I finally asked her for some help, she gave me $50 . For her, that's how much my mom's life worth.

Life has a way of working out. You are very kind to be helping your mum out like this and if you are really doing it out of the goodness of your heart god will pay you back BIG time. It may not happen now, in 2 weeks or in 2 years but it will happen and when it does you will be so happy you spent time looking after your mum.
People like your sister will eventually fall from their pedestals and guess who they will be running to for help?

There must be some reasons why your sister does not feel the need to help out your mom. Maybe your mother was not the best that they come and your sister resent her for not being a good mother. Anyways, we all grow up and have our own separate obligations to our spouse and our own family. Having a house and two cars does not mean she has money to spear. Having high-end purse does not necessary mean she is wealthy, she might of gotten those stuff by gift, by saving up every penny, etc...
Don't be too quick to judge your sister for not helping, ask yourself the reason why YOU are the only person willing to aid your mother.
Remember, the aid that you are asking your sister to give is not entirely your sister's money, it's her husband, her sons, daughters, etc... If she helps you and your mother, when she is in trouble, who is she able to turn to? You must look at life in your sister's perspective as well.

This is not the place to vent emotions or personal problems. As a human, your life is built on decisions, so you should take the position of being responsible enough to handle them. Do you really expect most respondents to give a damn...their answers are glib, cruel, hateful and foolish? Many will answer you and then ask the same question because they haven't a clue about what to do. Face up to it...This is your life, and what you can do and what you can achieve is up to you.....Notice that word YOU...it means just that....you have to do things....not me...not she, he or it....YOU. YOU take the bull by the horns and find out what is available to help your Mom....not the sisters.....YOU...Don't depend on others....and don't ASSume that others will go much out of their way to help.

Don't fret. Family in times of crisis or need are sometimes well alot of times very difficult. You do what you can and don't worry about the rest. Things will eventually change. If you are the person that usually takes care of most things in the family...the kinda go person. Try turning a deaf ear and see what happens.
