[QUOTE="virginiabreeze, post: 472961, member: 13069"] [COLOR=#222222][FONT=Verdana]Hi DaisyFace - you are so right. My poor sister asks "What would I do" and I try to explain to her that I haven't a clue. I have a 'perfect child' - he's really isn't, but compared to my niece, I realize I'm sooo blessed. My sister has tried everything. She has been in family counseling, she has been a very hands on mother, she has done everything for her daughter. My sister has reached out to our large extended family for support and intervention - and that has not worked out very well for her. I guess that unless you are experiencing and living 'it', words are just empty and painful. I am shocked at the anger this 'drama' has stirred up within our family of origin (3 sisters, 4 brothers, and elderly mother). I live the farthest away. So, I have not been involved from the beginning, like my other brothers & sisters have. My sense is that my sister has 'burnt' some bridges and is now reaching out to me for the support that she so desperately needs. The whole situation is just heartbreaking. My niece is a beautiful girl who just fell into the wrong crowd. My sister just wants her to come back home. The daughter has run away. My sister has no idea where she is and no way to contact her. My sister has learned from the high school that her daughter has dropped out and is living with a boyfriend. My niece is 17, will turn 18 in April - which has my sister freaking out.[/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
