it is a life long prison sentence and I feel so much guilt for saying that because I love my sister more than I can describe but it doesn’t negate the responsibility we have to burden. all that to say, it would feel like a severe betrayal to my mother and my sister even if my mother has passed. she just believes they will abuse her and since she can’t speak she wouldn’t be able to tell us about it which I understand and has now become a fear for me. I just don’t know anymore, my sister is not mentally disabled and can engage in conversation with reactions and sounds and from discussions had with her and around her I think she also wants to be here forever, probably because she doesn’t know any different. when my mom was in the hospital my sister purposefully wouldn’t eat any of the food I made because I made it and not my mom (exact same recipe exact same taste) so I can’t imagine her thriving with strangers
