sister act

I have an older sister who lives more than a year with me and my family since she came back from working abroad after 21 years. with all those years she spent abroad we only had 5 years of communication with her and nothing was ever heard from her since then. We thought all the while that she's gone or just fully decided to live on her own leaving her children and the whole family for good. Her kids grew up with no mother on their side and their lives were very tough since then. Her husband found comfort from another woman and I don't blame him. Her son was hooked into drugs and now incarcerated because of his drugs involvement. Her eldest child had many broken relationships. She has 5 children in all with different lives now. Lucky for her other son whom I took when he was a baby and treated him like my own. She just could not fully understand how things changed since she left. She is still the same arrogant, proud person I ever known. But she is also soft at times. To cut the long story short, her children especially the girls felt bad about her and decided to forget about their mom because of some differences. We have so many siblings but she finds comfort living with us. She tried to live with my other two sisters but they quarreled for some reasons and now there's only me whom she can rely on. Living with her is really tough because she often meddles with the way I treat and discipline my kids. I am the second to the youngest brood of 10 while she is the 3rd child. Imagine the age gap! I cannot wait for her to go back abroad so I can live my life in peace once again. She helps around the house without asking for monetary exchange but that is beside the point. She is also fond of gossiping and making stories with the people around the neighborhood. Actually I pity her but there are times that she is getting into my nerves. I know that I have full responsibility of her now because I consider myself as her only family.
