I would only say that there is expiry date to blaming people in your life for where you end up. At 31, you are way past that age. Look around you, people with way more challenges rise up. I would only say that instead of dissecting your mother’s and sister’s behavior minutely, accept it if you cannot change it. You can only work on yourself, so work on yourself and make yourself a great person to accept things as they are.

People live in different times which shape their worldview. Your mom has lived big chunk of her life without you being born, and a lot of her views come from a time you were not even present. Don’t beat her too much because she couldn’t change with time or didn’t had much intellect to do so. Its easier to whine, but its painful to walk in someone’s shoe and see why they are behaving the way they do.
