[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 569821, member: 1550"] Giving into her or not giving into her won't change the fact that she is not stable. Nor will a high IQ. A private neuropsychologist can test her for neurological differences and mental health disorders. I agree that you should not have to be the second parent here and should go out and live your life and not feel you have to take care of your mother. She is choosing not to get serious help for your sister. You can't change that. Perhaps your sister will end up with bipolar, which you say runs in your family. IQ has nothing to do with mental illness. I don't believe your sister is "bad" or just willfully misbehaving. Something is making her unable to deal with life the way most kids do, but the reason has not been yet found. I think she needs a lot more help from professionals and she isn't getting it. But hopefully you'll be in college next year and can leave the drama behind you. You deserve to be a kid. You are only a kid once. Nothing against your mom, but why won't she get your sister totally evaluated? You don't need to answer because it isn't your problem. Just saying, mom is not doing all that she can. There will come a point when she will have to. Let time take care of it. You can't and shouldn't feel you have to. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
