A few things the first thing that comes up for me is..
"Do you think there is something going on with her because you have real evidence/suspicion or is your lack of connection making you think that?"
Also regarding chores etc: perhaps you are not been clear enough in your expectations. Helping you around the house is not an ask it is a tell a I expect as adults you lend me some support, the ask and negotiating pieces comes into account over what they do. You need to get very clear what your bottom line is what you really want and say "This is what I want how are you going to make it happen?" Then look at the support you give them and where that may need to be looked at if you are not getting the support back. Let them know how you feel when they do not help and what effect that has on you and your commitments to them.
I think a little more clarity and strength is required :-)
