Hi everyone
I hope it's ok to post in the topic, it's my sister who is very ill at the moment (although I have my own issues goodness knows) and I am quite desperate to help her.
She is hopeless at the moment and has that certainty that things will never get better and will not improve. She already made a serious attempt a few months ago.
I want to try to give her some hope and some focus for when she comes home (she's in a crisis house at the moment) and I was thinking of getting her a pet. Is this a terrible idea? She lives in an apartment so it would have to be something suitable for that, a house kitten or a small furry or two. Just something who she can love and maybe provide some hope and love to her.
I'll accept this might be an awful idea and I shouldn't do it, but you see nothing else I do seems to help really so I'm a bit desperate. She has that look behind her eyes and it really scares me. You know the look.
So what's the consensus? Awful or good idea?
