You have a lot going on in your world right now! Email and texting, even posting here... it's hard to hear the "tone" of someone when they are responding. I used to make myself crazy trying to figure out what someone was thinking or feeling when they were typing. Now I just read the words, and I know that their feelings and reactions belong to them. As one of my friends says, Facts is facts. That's what you did - you sent a bus schedule. That's a fact. How he responds to it or feels about it? That's his stuff.

Your brother is lucky to have you. Can you find a balance that you can live with that allows you to spend time with him without being overwhelmed? I would guess he's in a group home or facility where they can take care of him on a daily basis. All you can really do is YOUR part. Your sister will either step up and do her part, or she won't. But at least you know you're doing what you can do.

Be extra nice to yourself today. You deserve it!
