Tell the sister who has POA that you don't want to be caregiver anymore... With her help find care for your Mom... Make sure you give her a deadline!!!!!

I'm not sure where your hurt lies. Is it that mom is declining? Or that your brother and sister don't help out? Can you have a meeting with your siblings and tell them that it's not working out and mom needs more help than you can give her? Either they can pitch in or you need to get your mom into a memory care unit for patients with Alzheimers. Is she on any medications now for her crying? Does she see a doctor regularly?
