In my family dynamic, my sister Roberta plays the role of King Bob, while my other sister and I play the Mark role.
I haven't communicated with my mother since November and I have no plans to do so in the future. The burden of my mother's care, and it is a burden, falls to Roberta. It's driving her nuts. My mother should move to a smaller house or maybe an apartment but no one can tell her what to do. She still has enough mental faculties to get her own way. But her mobility is pretty close to zero at this point.
Fortunately my folks were able to set enough money aside to give her a pretty steady income at this point. She has no money worries despite the fact she thinks she is going broke.
Good for you for being there for your mom.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
