Maybe you need to think of her as some quasi-stranger.<BR/><BR/>Think of her as a friend of a friend. Pity her and help her the way you would help an acquaintance... politely helpful but somewhat distanced from the situation.<BR/><BR/>I don't know. My advice sucks. I agree with Hurricane - your sister is not well. I also agree that she probably won't read the book. You should read it, though. It may help you.annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10528972018222777551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30724218.post-48207659585808073082009-02-27T15:00:00.000+08:002009-02-27T15:00:00.000+08:00Both.I've been putting off a talk with my sister f...Both.<BR/><BR/>I've been putting off a talk with my sister for a while now, because the next time I do, it's not going to be pretty (talking about whats left for her in the inherintance). She has been irresponiable for most her adult life, and I fear she'll end up on the street one day, and there's nothing I can do about it...<BR/><BR/>I hope your sister gets the help she needs at last Fiona, but it sounds like I wouldn't hold your breath.Fusionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05478465297213819613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30724218.post-26442370146408869662009-02-27T02:58:00.000+08:002009-02-27T02:58:00.000+08:00Fi, i'm so so sorry that you are watching your sis...Fi, i'm so so sorry that you are watching your sister be passive in her own life.<BR/><BR/>Depression often makes people self-centered (i.e., will you look this up for me) and kind of narcisstic.<BR/><BR/>I think you should read the book for you -- she's not going to read it, at least not now. When she's ready -- you'll know.<BR/><BR/>Be kind to her and to yourself. It's not normal what she's doing. She's not well. It's just hard to figure out how to keep your sanity in all this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
