[QUOTE="rlsnights, post: 322224, member: 7948"] My brother did not change. He had to be threatened with grand theft auto by my mother's attorney when he took my father's car and all his tools against my mother's wishes the day after he died. He is now 51. Leave. You cannot save her you can only save yourself. If she is willing to throw boiling water at you she is willing to seriously injure or even kill you on impulse. You were raised in a home where abuse occurred - no matter that it was your sister handing it out. You must understand the effect this has on the children in the home. You are used to it and have learned to accept it. You are left with a lifelong feeling that somehow you could or should be able to fix it. Perhaps you even feel that it is somehow your fault. You may be telling yourself "it's only 2 months" but 2 days would be enough to give her the opportunity to injure or destroy your future. And to have your grandmother come because she is afraid to leave you on your own with your sister? What if your sister hurts her - what if she is seriously injured or killed? How will you feel then? You are putting yourself into danger. You have years of evidence that she willingly abuses others. What more will it take for you to see that you cannot fix her? [/QUOTE]
