[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 92810, member: 84"] If stepgfg wanted to go to rehab I know I'd be helping her. I think BBK made some good points. Your sis is probably seeking out support herself but not sure how others, including family will react. (how well we know) Is sis close by where you could invite her over for coffee? Then maybe find a way to let her know that you're willing to listen and support. I have to do this sort of thing with my oldest sis. Our family is always so neg in their responses over her difficult children and her abusive exdh that she is afraid to open up to anyone. Plus she has this whole "tough guy" routine going on since we were kids. I usually have to draw her out by offering up a few opening questions, once she sees my responses are supportive she'll usually unload. It's like she forgets I've always been her sounding board and biggest supporter. (doesn't help we live states away from each other now either) Just had that type of conversation with her the other day. I know the family has no clue of the stuff she has on her plate. [img]:rolleyes:[/img] I'm sure this is so hard for your sis. Hugs [/QUOTE]
