I am a newbie and just found this site.
I am at a loss as to how to be supportive/helpful to my sister. My sister's 17 year old daughter has been a runaway for the last 7 months. My sister has found out that her daughter no longer attends school and is living with a boyfriend.
It kills me to hear the pain that my sister is in. But, it seems like there is nothing I can say that is helpful to her.
From what I can tell, our mother, brothers & sisters are all pretty sick of the 'drama'. I don't want to turn my back on my sister, but it is frustrating to try and give her what I think is loving & helpful advise - and have her 'turn' on me with a lot of anger & resentment.
What can I do? I live in another state, and don't get to see her.
