I take care of my Father and Mother who become very verbal abusive with my kids and I.I took care of him round the clock last year he became healthy and i got sick.Just finished chemo and radiation and the stress they put in my life (because i live at the same house) is just too much.I just want to pack up and leave.I have a brother who is never there and a sister that lives in a bubble far away.They do not even call to ask how i am doing but just create problems.Should i just move then they will be in a nursing home in 1 month or less.
Time to pack up and move out with your children as that isn't a good environment for them. Once you find a new place, give your parents, your brother and sister notice that you are leaving because the stress is harming your health [don't say anything more]. And if your siblings try to get you to stay on just say "sorry, I just can't do that".
I don't know if this would help, but you might try researching online to see if there's a Gilda's Club near you, then contact them and ask if they know of any temporary housing you could get while you're looking for something more permanent.
Over a dozen years ago, I became aware that Ronald McDonald facilities housed families with a member who was undergoing treatment for cancer. I believe they were located near major cancer treatment facilities, and housed the parents and children while the stricken family member got treatment.
I don't know if McDonalds still provides that service, but it might be worth a try.
