Find Care & Housing
If she wants to come to your home to see your mother, then tell her you'll be going out for 2 hours and will be back and go.
Otherwise you will have to find daycare or any community volunteers who visit a bit and gave you time away.
she was upfront about financially helping at the time you needed her to, she may not be emotionally able to "care" for someone ill.
Hoping you can locate others to give you a break you deserve.

My experience is that there is only one.... Unfortunately, you happen to be that one. My suggestion is for you to get respite care for your mother when you need a break. If your sister has not helped in 10 years she is never going to help you. It's just not in her nature. She is self-centered and unyielding. One last suggestion for you is, for you to love yourself, always. Go for long walks, go to the gym. Never lose sight of yourself and your needs.

Stay strong. ;)

I have been caring for my dad as well but I have help from my brother and niece. I found out that if your mom has Medicare, she can go to a nursing home for 2 weeks at no cost to you. This was created to give caregivers a break.
