let's jump right into this
On October 16 I moved out of my sister's apartment and into a senior apartment to care for an elderly member of my church.
Back in September she fell and wasn't found for 2 days. Thankfully nothing was wrong with her other than being severely malnourished and dehydrated and some bruises. She stayed in the hospital for 2 days and moved to a rehab facility where she was at for a little over a month.
We are working on getting me set up as her IHSS caregiver so that the state/county will pay me for what I do, but if that falls through, her sister said they'd work something out with me so that I get something from somewhere.
I would have thought moving out of my sister's place would be good, and it has been, but it's like the communication between me and my sister has gotten worse. I've sent her text messages and left a voicemail and she hasn't responded to any of them...maybe like 1 or 2. My niece is the same way, but it doesn't hurt as much as my sister not responding. I asked my mom about whether she'd heard from my sister and she said no and that I need to keep trying; that's she's got a lot on her plate and blah blah blah. Umm no. I'm tired of being the one to always have to chase after another person. The only reason I was keeping in touch with her was because I still have some of my stuff there that I wasn't able to take when I left and I wanted to know when the floor in my niece's room was going to be done so that I could help move stuff since my things are still there.
I just need to get my stuff out of there, give her the keys back and be done with her. She wants to push everyone away because we aren't giving her cash money towards "bills", she's going to regret that real soon. My niece is moving at the start of next year to go to a culinary arts school where her dad lives and I'm sure my nephew will be gone soon enough. Then what? She's really going to have to pay for her own stuff because I'm not there to give her grocery money, Nephew isn't there to give her cash money and Niece won't be there to cook and clean.
I've got schoolwork to get back to. I'm sort of behind and have an exam due tomorrow night before 11 pm.
