My father was dead before I was 20 but I was the only kid left anywhere near my mother as she got a bad cancer. I was a critical care nurse and was entirely able to care for her and take care of her medical needs but the rest of it? I am so sorry to see that you will have the addition of a sister who seems hard to deal with. The only thing I can say is go slowly or as slowly as you can. Take lots of deep breaths just to keep your balance and quit any conversation that gets touchy before it gets bad. Do not sell anything until everything has been completely planned out.

Good luck. It is so hard to see them ill like this and then to top it off with all this crazy responsibility. Stay healthy and go as slowly as you can. My heart is with you.
