Sister Advice needed...

  Author:  15675  Category:(General Advice) Created:(3/8/2008 2:15:00 AM)

Im really torn up over a lot of things right now; but this one is really bugging me.

I have 3 sisters; all younger aged 10, 13, and 19. All live many many thousands of miles and worlds away. I always tried to be there for all of them; being the mom our mother couldnt be. However I got older and moved out; and there is only so much I could do.

Me and the 19 year old one were closest...or at least I tried like heck to keep her close. We were always oppiosites: she sociable and preferring to escape our hellish homelife by hanging with friends; me Im more quiet and keep to myself. I moved out of home 5 years ago. She's treated me like crap ever since. She never calls me, barely takes my calls (or emails, or texts, whatever), tells me I can only contact her one way then ignores it, even once regulated everything I could discuss with her pretty much ruling out my whole life (where I lived, people I knew, my job, etc). But she wont tell me anything about her life, she hasnt ever since she was 15 and I told our mother I was concerned over her bf of the time. Turns out he was beating her; but I didnt know it then...I just 'knew' something was wrong.

I seen her last summer. But in December things got really bad. She's still in high school (graduating this May) and moved out with her 20 year old, just got his GED, doesnt/wont get his driver's liscense, no good, pot head, boyfriend into an apartment. It was a whole series of events but to sum it up it started with him posting his alcholhisim history, juvie and drug history (which no one in our family was aware of) on a public myspace; which I by chance found. She got mad at ME and blamed ME for it. I knew it was downhill from there.

She also didnt tell me they moved out till a week after the fact. I asked her if she was pregnant. She said no. Well...she may not have known but she was 2 weeks along. She works 14 hours a week retail, he works about the same for Subway ($7 an hour). Needless to say I wasnt exactly thrilled. And I told her so. She didnt like that I didnt kiss her booty and she vowed she would never talk to me again.

I spazzed out. I didnt sleep. I barely ate. I was so upset. She was ruining her life. I finally came up with a plan to help her...she could move here and go to school as it would be cheaper (another state mind you). Well the morning after that plan she miscarried. And she again BLAMED ME for it. Obviously living 7 states away its not like I could MAKE her miscarry. We hadnt been speaking for weeks at that point.

Now its been 3 months. I suspect via random looks at her ultra private pages (that I can only see basics of) she may be engaged. No one in my family has said anything but maybe they dont know/and maybe their keeping it from me. My 2 other sisters have called me tons these past few months, and both called me while I was in the hospital (refer to last 2 posts) but she did not. She didnt even try to contact me in any form or way.

And Im very upset about it. I guess its stupid to expect anything. We're in way different worlds; and I wanted so much better for it; while on the other hand I think she just wants me gone (even before this ordeal). Should I do anything? Or should I just forget it? Thanks.

You've always been there for her even if by email, txt or whatever....the rest is really up to her. If you can't live near her just keep sending her msg's of encouragement and let her know that she can contact you, and I would strongly suggest that you move forward in your life, there is only so much one can do to help family members, but just let her know you care in a msg every now and then....*hugs*  
Date: 3/8/2008 6:01:00 AM  From Authorid: 48809    QC, I think Zema gave you good advice.As sad as it may be some people seem to choose a life that most of us do not approve of, but apparently she is happy with things as they are. You cannot live your sisters life for her , so if she has decided that this is the life she wants for herself there is nothing you can do about it. We have all been given free will (up to a point)and we are not to infringe upon what others decide for themselves.It is very hard to stand by and watch what your sister is doing...but just remember that you can call her now and then...but sometimes there is just nothing else we can do. She seems to resent your trying to help her and sees it as interference into her private affairs. Maybe sooner or later she will understand that you are just concerned for her...but until that ever happens I would just take a back seat.  
Date: 3/8/2008 7:00:00 AM  From Authorid: 62100    I know that you love your sister and want what's best for her- but trust someone who was once in that position- the more that you point out what you perceieve to be wrong in her life, the more apt she is to shut you out...she hears you, she's internalizing it all- she just doesn't care what you think right now- only if and until she sees it for herself will she believe it..  
Date: 3/8/2008 7:43:00 AM  From Authorid: 62849    She'll never let you in if you don't let her live her life. Think about how you feel, and felt at that age, when people told you what you were doing might not be the best route for you.  
Date: 3/8/2008 8:16:00 AM  From Authorid: 28848    She is basically an adult. You have to let her make her own decisions at this point.  
Date: 3/8/2008 12:35:00 PM  From Authorid: 22188    In my humble opinion, you'll get much better responses from her if you quit trying so hard. If I were you, I would send her a letter or an email (so that you can say whatever you want as much as you want without being interrupted). Let her know you love and care about her and you want what's best for her, and if she ever needs your help you'll be there for her. But you're not going to press yourself on her, and if she needs you, she's going to have to ask for it. I'm not saying cut her out of your life, but just hold her at arms' length until she realizes what a wonderful asset you are as a sister. Right now, I'm sure she's lonely and confused and trying to find her way in the world. The best thing you can do for her is just be an example by living your life in a good way and showing her how different hers can be if she works hard for it.  
Date: 3/8/2008 3:55:00 PM  From Authorid: 60685    I've learned some people can't be helped unless they ask for that help and she obviously is not asking. It's normal for you to worry, she's your sister after all but if she doesn't value that it's best to cut your losses, wish her the best, and move on with your life.  
Date: 4/12/2008 9:01:00 PM  From Authorid: 27799    She's your sister and you said that you were once upon a time very close. I say keep trying to contact her. She may be embarrassed or ashamed of the life she's living and that's why she isn't talking to you, but if you keep letting her know that you are there for her to talk to she will think of you when she needs someone to talk to.
