newbby Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 i think from things you have said etc, you are young, look, i'm not picking on you, and i will leave you alone. i only wanted you to think about whether things are really the way they seem. i know that when you are young, you do think you know about everything, and as you experience more you realise that life isnt always as easy as that. if you are really just not understanding the situation, then it would be you that regrets it later. i had a friend a long time ago, who was older than me, similar story to the one you are describing. i really thought i helped her out, but she was depressed to a point i could not comprehend. later in life when i had experienced alot more, i really regretted that i could not understand then. if the situation is as bad as you describe then i hope that your sister comes onto this forum and gets talked into getting some help. i do agree with you that she needs to be independent too. it does sound as though she gets alot more help than most single moms. however first of all she needs some sort of counselling to get into a better frame of mind. i apologise for banging on at you.
