      Thank you Ohma. To be honest, it is only a matter of time, before one or the other takes her. Not to mention, about 5-8 years ago, she had colon cancer surgery, with a remote 15% chance of re-occurrence possible. And, she refuses to address it, as it remains likely to be the cause of some of her symptoms she has now.
      
      She will not have the test done to check on it.

      Her attitude is one of "I am done with my life". She only cares about me and her own uncertainty of my future. She isn't the least bit concerned by her grandchildren or her own daughter.
      
      Which is a problem? Yes and No. If I was not here, she would have already passed on, because she would have died from being alone.

         Cags I have known many people who have seemed to adopt a fatalistic attitude in their senior years. It is hard to know that you can no longer do the things you were once able to do. It is hard to feel as though you are a burden. (I know she is not) It is very depressing to get old.

                  It's a good thing I have patience and the fact that I am still living at home is a testament to my integrity, because of my father, who requested that I never leave her alone, on his death-bed.
                  
                  My sister tried for years to get my mother to throw me out, because she was convinced I was taking advantage of my mother. She wasn't present when my dad asked to look out for her.
                  
                  My dad knew and understood my mother's biggest fear, which was being left completely alone from/by her own family. Unfortunate that she gets that perceived notion, because of the rest of her family doesn't associate with her at all.
                  
                  
                  Edit: My actions prove my love to my mother.

   Cags your love is obvious.
   Your mom is fortunate to have you in so many ways. I believe that your sister will one day understand what is happening but more importantly your mom understands.
   As for the rest of the family as heartbreaking as it can be to have a long term disconnect it really is their loss. Your mother is a wonderful women and I know that because she raised a great son.

      Unfortunately, I cannot tell you or post it here, but they will be left clueless, draw dropped and mentally inept to grasp what happened.

                  The grandchildren will miss their grandmother. Yes, my sister will no doubt miss my mother, but will only realize her foolish actions of the last 10 years, after she has lost her mother.
                  
                  There is nothing more that I can do to try and get her to see that her own actions are going to crush her in the end. My sister refuses to listen to me or even reason for that fact.
                  
                  I spent 20+ years trying to keep them together, so our family does not end up like the past generations. Well, I stopped that fight, the day I disowned my sister. So much for reconciling family. I was fighting against my mother and my sister, trying to point out to them both that they were repeating history.
                  
                  When my mother finally realized it, she sank into a depression and ever since, realize the truth of the matter. She has now accepted.
