Hello, I have a sister who is 16. i looked after her for a while because my mother was working and didnt trust her to look after herself as she used to self harm. During the period that she lived with me i got her counciling and because of a special request that i made with womens aid she was able to attend the freedom programme because i felt that she needed to go to learn about the types of abuse because of the abuse that her father inflicted on us but i have dealt with mine where as she has not. well anyway she refriended a friend who i told her not to during prom, which has lead her to move out to this friends house and became involved in a romantic relationship with a man who is old enough to be her father (36). well when i found out i didnt tell my mother because i knew that my family would find out and that she would slip up when she visited my mum. but today she has said that we never cared for her when all we have done is try to get her the help that she needs. as we all know that she is not mentally stable enough to be in this type of relationship. but the doctor told her to stick with counciling but she didnt. well i know that the friends family have socially grommed her into beliveing my mother neglected her as my mum and sister didnt spend that much time together as my mum was eiather working, taking the family shopping or in darts to try and relax from stress. but when they had the opportunity to spend time together my sister would rather be with this friend. well my family all found out about her relationship and and they are really worried about her. but she is addiment that she is in the right. she has a social worker but they said that they cannot do anything other than advise her that it is abad idea tobe in thiskind of relationship. which i think is wrong because she is still a child and is not a mature 16. but on futher investigating it turnsout that the family that she prosides with has encourraged this relationship even though the guy has been told by several people to saty away as it could lead to prosicution. but we have also found out that this person is related to the family which thay are related to us distantly. i dont know what to do as my family are very worried can anyone offer any advice please it would bemuch appreciated.
