@Sweet Caroline 1 , I am sending peace and gentle hugs to you. Please realize that you need to care for yourself before others, and don't feel guilty for doing so. You aren't responsible for another adult, and you can't make them happy, no matter how hard you try. 

Take care, and enjoy the weekend.

@Sassy7356 , this is so pretty. I think these are hollyhocks. My grandmother had them in her backyard, and she enjoyed their beauty. 

Everyone, we woke up to 44 degrees this morning.  Our heater came on, and felt good. We should warm to 70, and then more rain forecast next week. It has been nice to have the moisture. 

My Misty. this angel is a year old this month. She is so sweet.

Hey there @hullie and All,    I have been through a lot of emotional events that have effected me profoundly throughout my life.  My older sister has been a huge adult child for me and mama and when mama passed, I found out just how much mama went through with her.  My precious mother is at peace in Heaven now Bless her heart.  Sister will continue to scrape away my mental health until one of us dies.  Maybe she will begin to call our younger sister with her mess and finally our younger sister will see what me and mother have been going through.  Lord knows I've tried and tried to tell her but she hasn''t listened.  Right now I'm at peace from her but suffering from guilt.  I know what the Lord expects from me.  Well that's my life in a nut shell right now.  I'm enjoying and finding happiness here with the friends and working on my whimsical projects for my front and back porches.

@Sweet Caroline 1   I feel for you.  Your sister seems to be what is known as toxic for you, and if she were not your sister, I imagine it would be easier to cut the ties.  Maybe if you just ignored her, she would have no choice but to go to your younger sister.  Because you are always there for her, she doesn't need to go to another person, but for your own sake, you could try this.  I would tell her from now on to go to the younger sister as you are done with the situation.  Sharing is only fair, lol.  Nothing will change as long as you are there letting her take advantage of you.  

I had to do this with a toxic member of the family in order to get on with life in a healthy way.

Please do not feel guilty, you have done more than can be expected of anyone, and enough is more than enough.  Take care of yourself.
