Lately my litle sister has been falling into the same exact path that i used to follow at her age, drugs, sex, no school etc. shes 15. I regret so much about my past and its been a long hard road to recovery and if it wasnt for becoming pregnant i dont know where iwould be today. I want to stop her from this destructive lifestyle but in the last couple months its spiraled out of control! My parents are totally loving and caring but they are lost in what to do to help her but its really hard because i dont want my son to be around all this stress and eerything that she is creating in our house. I told my mom to get her a drug test so that atleast we can rule that in/out. though we already know it will be ruled in. I want the best for her but shes out of control. She lies constantly and she wont listen to a word i say, or anyone else for that matter. we used to be best friends and its really upseting for me. i know theres probably not much any of you can say to help but any adivce would be so appreciated! help!
Honestly, if you say something she may get defensive. It's hard seeing someone go down a path you are concerned about. I would be honest with her, though and tell her your concerns. She will yes, probably get defensive and pissed off - but sometimes in the long run - it's for the best. Tell her you love her, supportive of her, but you are concerned.
Good luck
yeah. She'll get pissed off. She'll get defencive. But isn't it better that you get her help before something bad happens? A pissed off sister is better than a sister who needs major help, you know?
thanks guys. yah i have talked to her, many many times. i dont care that she gets defensive and mad, but my problem is that no matter what i say or what approach i take in telling her how i feel she doesnt care, she practically laughs in my face. i feel like there are maybe deeper issues that are causing her to act this way but she wnt talk to me about it. i tried doing the whole im not mad i just want to help you, supportive sister thing. that didnt work. so i tried the getting mad at her and giving it to her straight. that didnt work. ive even tried begging her not to leave the house. like right now for instance she hasnt been home since yesterday evening, and nobody really knows where she is. my parents called the cops but theres not much they can do, or will do. ugh!
