Hope your mum gets on the mend soon, MC. PM me if you want to talk or just vent to someone who's been there - not trying to get all "been there, done that" about it, but I do understand the frustration and helplessness of watching someone suffer and knowing they're feeling guilty about inconveniencing YOU. I really hope your brothers and sisters pull their finger out soon. People often surprise you in such circumstances - and not always in the good way. It depends entirely on how you think they'll take it and what kind of people they are, but maybe it's time to allow yourself to lose your shit and point out that YOU have a life and a job and a child, but someone has to do it and they are being grossly unfair and selfish by fucking off when the going gets tough?

Also, don't forget to take care of yourself, as soon as you get enough help to make that a possibility. And don't you dare feel guilty about it either - just remember, it'll probably help your mum deal with her worry about being a burden if she can see you keeping up with your own life and friends as far as possible.

EDIT: Just as soon as your siblings stop being selfish dickholes, obviously. I hope the wait on that isn't too long.
