[QUOTE="klmno, post: 343240, member: 3699"] I see BW's point about ODD being real however usually being the result of other issues or disorders. But I tend to agree with MWM about you both being adults now and the big brother role you see for yourself might not really be welcomed by your adult sister at this point. At your ages, you each need to take repsonibility for yourselves and not worry so much about how the other is living his or her life, in my humble opinion. If by chance you are just sensing defensiveness, animosity, or a little rebellion from her at this point my guess is that it might have something to do with her not wanting to be treated like someone's little sister at this point in her life. Even if she is not living her life in a good way or how you'd like to see it, she alone must make those decisions and suffer the consequences. Unless of course she is harming someone or putting a child in harm's way, then there are appropriate authorities that can be contacted. If you're just genuinely concerned about her choices or mental health, I'd suggest letting her know that you care about her and have these concerns, then accept what she does with that information since you have no control over it.
