Sigh....it is hard living in the shadow of a screwed up sibling. As a mom, sometimes one kid just needs more than the other one does, being 50/50 just isn't always appropriate. It sounds like you need to get away for your own health and wellbeing because things aren't going to settle down any time soon and at this point both your mother and sister need to figure things out on their own. Has you sister been diagnosed with a mental illness?
FWIW- my little brother used for years and I tried to help him all the time until one day it became quite obvious that I couldn't save him and I had to accept the fact that someday I might get the call that he died. Thankfully, he turned his life around and is married with 4 kids now. I hope that someday your family will settle down, but in the meantime, it is time to take care of yourself.
