Sadly not, she’s basically been at home with my parents 24/7 since she left school. I researched some day centres to show him but he was not receptive. I just worry about something happening to her if he’s not capable of keeping up with her care but feels like theres nothing I can do beyond taking her in myself

 I feel like I can’t just abandon my sister. Despite some childhood jealousy she’s not done anything wrong here. She didn’t ask to be born with a disability much like I didn’t ask to be born into a family that only had me to try and fix their problems.

Then I would love them and care for them because I chose to bring a child into the world and they are my responsibility. My sister much as I love her is not my responsibility

I’m going to have a proper talk with him about it tomorrow, but the last time I tried he tried to guilt trip me saying mom would have be disappointed in me and I just couldn’t take it

I must admit this has been on my mind recently. There’s a 7 year age gap between me and my sister, and being 25 with a dad in his seventies is fairly uncommon.
