Am I the best chance for my sister to get help

My sister is 42 lives with our mum i have kept away from this idea a long time

Mum is so traumatised from bringing up 3 schizophrenic daughters that mum no longer thinks there is help
Mum thinks the help Is not there and that because my sister does not want help that we can’t help her
She is struggling to quit severe stages of alcoholism

When mum had our middle sister sectioned for 2 yrs she ran away and was hit by a car and killed my mum blames herself because she had her sectioned and our sister died because of this, mum thinks putting her somewhere she wanted to escape from to get out and get killed that it is her fault she died

I live 30 miles away from them
I have schizophrenia in remission

I feel I should have all the answers but is it all down to me?

Does mums inaction make my role more important?

Anyone please let me know your thoughts
I’m not meant to get stressed and mum Always considers that before anything

Both mum and I know that she plans to kill her self as soon as mum isn’t around any more

Is it the thing that lets me off the hook?
That I have The same illness and should not put myself in harms way?

Am I my sister’s keeper always came to mind when our middle sister died and I was in the same ward she had run away from

A lot of time, alcoholism and schizophrenia exist it the same individual. I know; it is true of me!

If your sister at Mums won’t accept any help, it is hard on you.

If your sister threatens suicide, it is hard on you.

Please, build a support system for yourself.

She’s probably dead if you don’t get her sectioned.
