I’m just wondering if there’s anyone in a similar boat and if you’ve found any way of helping. Mainly I’m concerned for my parents. They’re getting on now, they’re we’re older parents to begin with and are in their late 70s now. My sister is 35 and seemingly never grew up. She is incapable of holding down a job, taking care of a house or just coping with life really! She never finished school, was always in trouble and is an emotional rollercoaster to put it politely. My parents have spent her whole life “fixing” everything for her. She’s ALWAYS in some sort of financial mess, has no friends, can’t form a lasting relationship and is currently back living with my parents. They are so, so, so stressed out and I feel awful for her. Over the years I have done lots for her, including trying to help her socialise with my friends, getting her jobs where I was working in bars whilst I was at uni, spending time with her and listening to her rant and rant about life. I really struggle with her though because she’s not just so NASTY to me. Well, she’s like that with everyone but I just can’t bear it’s. My husband hates her, my friends hate her, everyone hates her... to be fair she’s been absolutely disgusting to people over the years. I do think she needs professional help of some sort by she refuses to listen and threatens suicide if you try to persuade her to reach out for support. M parents are at the end of their tether and I feel sad for them in lockdown with her and supporting her financially in their pensions. Any advice welcome I’m at a complete loss.
