#1- I thought we weren't allowed to post links to sites with profanity....which this one does have. Lots of it.

#2- Why air family dirty laundry on here? People cannot give you advice without actually knowing what is going on, and they can't get that from a message board thread.


[Edit (Ref00): Thanks, didn't even see the page.]

I like that you have changed your sig.

I agree, plus I believe she has many friends on here that she trusts.

And...it's really no different than airing happy things.

Hey Lisa God Bless you for trying to help your husbands sister out. It shows that you care that you bring your concerns to the board. I did not look at the web page that you had posted but I do work with troubled teens in my various jobs that I have. I am a mentor for a local county agency as well as a juvenile boot camp instructor, I have seen success stories at both jobs but the main thing is to not give up on her. It sounds like her mother may have already done that, and she may not act as tho she cares about things but just you showing that you care can have a dramatice impact on her life.

Also her mother must realize that this is not about herself this is about her daughter and that she needs to get help before another situation occurs(knife at school etc.) Would the mom possibly go to family counseling with her daughter?

I hope this helps a bit if you need any info PM me.

Lisa~Damn woman! This is a tough situation. No advice here, really. Just sending postive thoughts to you and your sister in law. I hope she receives the help she needs and sooner, rather than later.

It sounds like Family Therapy, not just individual for her is needed. The parents are enabling a lifestyle of excess and sin, and she is running wild.

Were her parents like this with your husband?

"Once we dedicate all of our concerns upon the life of others,we quickly learn our own life has gone to hell."

To be concerned and a caring person is a very noble trait. And it appears you've done everything within your powers to bring the proper attention to the problem.

Outside of that,you're letting this be an obsession to other priorities that pertain to things beyond your control.

The fact is,we all have enough trouble concerning our own life,children and relationships. Not that we shouldn't "try" to help others,because we should. But letting it be "all consuming" only tends to compromise ones self and our own family and its well being.
