Does anyone have any advice on this... My DSis is 35 and fed up with dating, says she feels like she can’t make anything work. She is beautiful inside and out but not as confident as she shd be, esp with dating.
She had a really difficult start because our parents split up when she was 6 and our Mum who was the main carer was v depressed and couldn’t really cater to her needs, much as she wanted to. Meanwhile our dad remarried and whilst he did his best and stayed in active touch he put his wife (q a dominant character) before his children. So again her needs didn’t come first. This had an impact on me too, incl my ability to date well, but I finally got there and now have a family. I think the impact on her was more marked because she was so young (ten years younger than me) whereas it affected most of her childhood.
She has had quite a lot of counselling but she is still very downbeat about the prospects of meeting someone she can create a future with. How can I best help her?
Thank you...
