[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 92825, member: 1233"] Terry, For whatever reason your sis seems to feel unable to open up. Maybe she gets too many suggestions from others, maybe no one will listen, maybe people say ugly things to her. I know you don't do this, and that you want to help. Personally, I got so careful with telling my family ANYTHING that it got to the point that my life was in danger before I asked my parents to help. It was AFTER the first call to the sheriff. You really can't know what is going on but you can let her know you will listen with an open heart and mind. It may take a while, but if you are willing, maybe she will be able to talk to you someday. It is so hard when a family member is in such pain. I truly think it took my mom a very long time to help my bro get ready to go to rehab. I know it took a HUGE emotional toll. And he was over 30 years old. Sending hugs and prayers to all of you, Susie [/QUOTE]
