Jags, I am sorry to hear about sister but BIL must step up to
the plate. He took the vows "in sickness and in health" and
while you have to deal with Mom, you can't be the end all of
everything.  When I had the guilt over the Mono hit many years
ago, husband did what he could and kids did what their age
allowed but I had to stop the guilt by saying 'they'd have to do
it if I wasn't here at all".  That what you have to remember. If
you were not there, a phone call away, BIL would have to deal
with wife on his own with no emotional support. Just make sure
he doesn't pack Sis up and drop her off on your doorstep to live
with you and Mom and he'll visit every so often, I mean you're
already home so why not???  D
