[QUOTE="buddy, post: 528676, member: 12886"] HI Denise (we have the same name!)... I can imagine this is very stressful to be around, and sad too. I agree with the others. I think some work on yoru part will help too. This I can relate to from my own sibling relationships. We have worked really hard to love eachother, support each other and yet, to have strong boundaries about whose problem is it??? We listen and stopped trying to fix things for each other. It is NOT easy to do. Especially in your case, as the others have said...your sister is not fully grown up yet. She still has lots of brain growth and maturing to do. I hope your mom can make the decision to push her gently out of the nest. And I think giving yourself some distance is a great idea! You will always be connected, but it may help give some relief and perspective. You can set an example for both of them by creating a healthy boundary, showing support and love and not being co-dependent. (yeah, easy to say, right??) Anyway, glad you posted and hope you feel comfortable sharing when ever you feel the need.... HUGS, Dee [/QUOTE]
