Pretend you are an only child. Devise ways to cope with your mother and still manage your business and maintain your marriage WITOUT expecting any help from siblings. It is just you. Fair? Certainly not! No more fair than your mother having such horrendous health issues. Life is not fair.

I suspect that one of your coping devices is going to have to involve more professional care. Where will Mom live when she is discharged from the hospital? Where was she living before she was hospitalized?
