I feel sick. I'm very confused.
I found out something terrible yesterday. A man my sister met on the Internet and has been seeing for a few months is a convicted child abuser. My sister is vulnerable with past MH issues. She only found out 2 days ago. As yet she says she doesn't know how she feels. My Mum is being really weird about it. She's almost making light of it. She herself was abused as a teenager and I don't think she's ever come to terms with it. My brother and I both think my sister should cut off immediately from this man. My Mum is being odd and saying really odd things, like she 'understands' if the relationship continues. My sister is in total shock but says the man has 'good qualities'. To an outsider they seemed to have a good relationship before this horrible shock. I think my Mum is not helping by being in denial about what this man did and I had a huge row with her yesterday. My sister needs the confidence to just end it, doesn't she? I feel absolutely sick and ill about it. I don't know what to do. Please be sensitive with your replies. My sister has been suicidal before with anorexia and depression. I'm really worried about her.
