Get your sister out of there now. If she isn't ready then you can't do anything else.
Change your number. Make a new email address and create new social media accounts. Maybe move, go to work for a new company.
You are nothing more than a tree that grows free money to your family.
Who owns the house?
Your mom is at a crossroads. Either she stands up for you and boots him or she gives in and picks him and his kids.
I suggest you get rid of the trash pan and take her shopping to buy her own sets of pots and pans and kitchen tools. Things she can take with her if she gets fed up.
Bipolar is a chemical imbalance. Just like a person with seizures, brain chemicals can only be somewhat regulated with medications, and that is mostly trial and error until one works.
If she is unable to work, her medication prescriber should help her file for disability. If she proves she is incapable of managing her meds and finances someone can petition the court to make them her guardian/payee. They'll be reporting to the court as to how they are doing this too.
At any time she wants to manage herself the court will listen to her and the other person and make a new decision. It could continue or dissolve the previous order.
My point is, she is mentally ill. Without the right meds and therapy she will continue like she is. You cannot expect her to be any different. Ever.
Just because you like her when shes in a manic phase, well, that's the high of the disease. It's just as bad.
This is what she lives with every moment.
