Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Sara Jo, I feel for you and understand where you are coming from. I just helped my baby brother (30yo) pack up and move back to live with nada. I was never for this but nada had convinced brother Robbie to do it that she needed him. They have had a strained relationship for years and Robbie thought that they could reconcile and that he could " save " her. (can we say unresolved issues?) Despite my instincts to the contrary I supported him as best I could. (nada had convinced him that i am a bossy know it all when her real agenda is to get one of us home to take care of her) I knew it would end up in disaster, which it did, but I was not about to listen to ten more years of how I stole her son. (another post entirely!!!) Your sister is where she is and you need to let her come to her own conclusions. I wish I could leap frog my brother past a few hurdles because I want to protect him from all that pain and aggravation. It is hard for us to stand back and let them walk into the quicksand. Just be standing by with a rope when she needs you to help pull her out. She will let you know. I know how tempting it is to jump in and start giving unsolicited advice but be warned...you end up inadvertently looking as controling as your nada. My brother has a cell that he can use to call me as much as he wants for free and we have spent over 1000 minutes on the phone with each other in this last month! xoxo Carla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
