Can my sister keep me from my mom?

My sister is like the live in caregiver for my 85-year-old mom and refuses to communicate with me.

lisao718, if your sister is your Mom's live-in caregiver, she probably doesn't call you because she doesn't have time and/or is so exhausted she just wants to crash and burn from the exhaustion.

Does your sister have any help with her caregiving? What are your Mom's health issues? Is she mobile? Does she have memory issues? Did your sister have to leave behind a family or a job to take care of Mom? That in itself can build up a lot of resentment.
