Pregnant sister/roommate and meanness help

My sister and I are very close and live together. She's pregnant and I am very supportive and have been all along, especially since the babies "father" wanted nothing to do with her or the baby. I have been supporting her financially, emotionally, etc. through then entire pregnancy and she's been ok to live with up until now. She's in month 7 of pregnancy now and is SO MEAN to me , shes always saying rude things to me, snapping at me over nothing and criticizing everything I do. I love my sister and want to help her raise her baby but she's constantly hurting my feelings and being disrespectful to me. I understand she is pregnant and am trying my best but nothing I do is right. I've tried asking her to be nicer but that just makes her mad. How can I survive these last month's of pregnancy, would it better to stay out of her way or try to talk to her about it? This might sound rude, but I'm doing a lot here...providing for her and her unborn child when the baby isn't even my own. I understand she's pregnant It's getting to a point where I can't stand being around her because she is so mean to me...any advice would be appreciated!

How old are you both, and where do you live? It would help us to know so we can point you in the direction of some real life support.

You sound like you are trying to offer heaps of financial, practical, emotional support and it could be that she feels.smothered? Plenty of women "go.it alone" when they have a baby and she may actually just want to be left to get on with things and keep thw relationship you have as a sister/room mate one - rather than you being a provider or co parent?

She's still living with me though and accepting my support. Should I ask her if she wants to leave? I think that would offend her because she has no job and lost her last job due to her pregnancy, so she's not really looking for another job. I feel like I need to take care of her bc our mom was a single mom and an alcoholic and she died when we were young (I was only 19) and I've always taken care of everyone (probably my own issue though)...and I'm the only one who finished college/has a stable career. I am willing tinsel if she wants to "go it alone" I just dont want to upset get
