Long story short, she [27F] has to take care of her dying mother [60+F] while also babysitting her brother's [34M] daughter [4F] pretty much the entire weekend. Between this and her job, this has lead to her losing every single one of her friendships and has put a ton of strain on our relationship.
I [24M] try to encourage her to put her foot down and make some of the rest of her family pick up some of her slack but she and I both know that the rest of her family won't do right by either her mother or her niece.
I don't know what to do. She's exactly the kind of person I want to end up with but I am not getting what I need out of this relationship. Her situation isn't going to be changing anytime soon either and when it does, it will probably be with the death of her mother. If things keep going the way they are going, I don't think our relationship could take that kind of hit.
This was more of a rant then anything but if you have advice or experience with this kind of thing, that would be greatly appreciated.
tl;dr: SO's family sucks and forces her to take care of her niece and her dying mother, putting a lot of strain on our relationship.
