My sister

...See more I don’t know where to put this but i need to talk to someone, anyone about what’s happening with my sister. it’s like a bad dream, a bad year / years. my sister is bipolar possibly, she’s 10 years old and says things like she wants to hurt other people, it’s alarming especially coming from her.. i am wounded and worried because she’s my sweet sister and only 10. why does she do this? she lives with my 2nd mother, who is by no means a bad mother but she doesn’t know how to stay single, she jumps from new girlfriend to new girlfriend instead of just raising her daughter. my sister says that she wants to hurt my moms girlfriends. yesterday morning she told my moms girlfriend that she just wanted to turn around and hurt her, but in more violent words that a 10 year old shouldn’t be saying. she’s done this before to my moms ex wife, but my moms ex wife didn’t like my sister and treated her badly. that’s why my mom left her. my mom has no idea what to do, as she’s never gone through this before. at least with me they weren’t around enough to notice when i was depressed ect, but this isn’t about me. do they have to start locking their bedroom doors at night? in fear that she might hurt them? is she just saying words to say them? i fear that my mom is doing damage by not letting her and my sister have alone time, i think she’s overwhelmed by the girlfriends grandchildren being there for the entire week. i saw pictures of my sister at the waterpark and she looked miserable; she just wants to spend time with her mom without anyone else being around. my mom should take time to be single and raise her daughter. i don’t know, any advice would help, putting her in a facility away from everyone would be unfair.

...See more I care for my mother and grandpa. ive been caring for my mom since i was a little girl, it has been exhausting and i have no time for myself. grandpa is getting worse, mom refuses to put him in a retirement home instead she forces me to take care of him because she cannot do it, she cannot take care of herself. i am exhausted, stressed and don’t know what to do. grandpa fights with us and argues about every little thing. just the other day he asked me to close the garage door which was left open because we needed to get my dog from the groomer, it is easier to leave it open instead of pulling it open and closed every time. he proceeded to scream at me and curse me, then finally again i told him we were going to get my dog from the groomer and he didn’t say anything, mom got in the middle of it and he told her to be quiet. i will not tolerate him treating my mother badly. she’s use to the abuse because grandma treated her really bad but i refuse to let him do the same. he doesn’t have a license but still decides it’s a good idea to drive to the store even though he’s also going blind. he constantly opens the washer and dryer when we’re doing laundry, then pulls our clothes out so he can do his. he digs through the trashcan after we throw stuff away to see what it is. he leaves his bathroom messes just there for me to clean up, which by the way i shouldn’t have to do. i shouldn’t even have to be putting my life on hold to take care of him? i don’t really speak to him much anymore because it’s always an argument, always has to argue about something. i just don’t understand why mom won’t put him in a retirement home. he lies to his doctor and when mom goes to his doctor appointments and tells his doctor what’s going on the doctor will look at grandpa and ask “is that true?” clearly he’s not going to tell her what’s true. i just don’t get it.
