[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 38676, member: 3450"] Hi, I was going to say it sounds like you have PTSD and then you mentioned it at the end of your post. My difficult child 2 has similar feelings and reactions to her older sister (difficult child 1). In fact, a small incident 2 weeks ago is what probably sent her to the adolescent psychiatric unit for a week (just last week!) Her therapist has made it clear to me that she cannot advance in therapy as long as her sister is allowed to be part of her life. I had to kick difficult child 1 out of our house in order for difficult child 2 to be able to have a chance at being healthy emotionally. I see this relationship with your brother's ex as being toxic to you--no right or wrong, it just is what it is. Also, she is venting and complaining to you but not doing anything to change her situation. What good are you actually doing her? It sounds like it is just too harmful to you to maintain contact--good for you for standing up for yourself. You really do need to take care of yourself and the relationship is way too stressful for you. Take care, Jane [/QUOTE]
