My sister is stuck in a relationship with a man she deep down wants to break up with. She is 34, had low self esteem and thinks she can’t do any better (she can). She has been openly unsure and ‘making her mind up’ for 6 months, he is begging her to stay and being lovely to her, and so she can’t bring herself to do it.
She is a people pleaser on one level, but also fiercely independent from me and any opinion or advice I give will be counter productive because after childhood years of me being bossy big sis, she makes a point of principle of not doing something just because I say so.
She has no money for counselling. So, can you recommend websites, books etc that give healthy balanced relationship advice?
