[QUOTE="mrsammler, post: 408974"] Just so you know, I tried very very hard to get my sister to see her situation for what it was, see that she had Battered Wife Syndrome (which she certainly had), get help for that, get help for her son based on his obvious psychopathy rather than her denial-driven notion that he was just a troubled kid sorting things out, but she would have none of this. She did have lots of therapy available but felt that it had run its course with her, and that the problem was that the difficult child wouldn't go to NA meetings (her denial script was that he was simply an addict, nothing more, which was preposterous). She had a long history of rejecting and even hating anyone who saw her difficult child accurately and judged him accordingly. Eventually that contempt was aimed at me, despite all I had done, because I called him what he was and pled with her to see her situation more accurately. This is why I left (well, that and I had a life to return to). She and I are no longer on good terms due to all of this--a sad outcome, given all that happened. [/QUOTE]
