I'm minding my sister today, two of them actually. But Beatrice is largely able to look after herself, she's almost twelve. Florence is almost nineteen and she'll never be able to look after herself

Not much I can offer in the way of help but you can have some sympathy and virtual hugs. Looking after other people is always stressful, however old they are, and particularly draining if you aren't well yourself *hugs*
You need to leave home and try at the very least, all you can do is try, I was doing nothing nothing nothing and now look Im half a world away from everything comforting and constricting.
You are not your sister's keeper, alright? You need to do things for you sometimes not just your family, you can't help them if you can't help yourself.
You're a strong woman Maggie, the only one who can't see that is you. Go for gold.
Sorry for disappearing last night. My connection cut out and when it came back you'd gone, too. :(
You know what I think, hun. But just to reiterate: it's not easy, being in a situation like this. You are an amazing person. Anyone would find this difficult to cope with, and your feelings are completely understandable given the circumstances. It does not make you bad. Give yourself a bit of a break, love. You don't need to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders and you are not responsible for everything.
You need to take some time out for you. You can look after yourself. You're stronger than you think.
As ever, I'm here for an ear (ooh look I'm a poet! lol :P) and lots of virtual cuddles! I wish I could do more.
But just know that I love you and I believe in you.
