my sister and her dh have decided split up - it was my sisters decision mainly. She sometimes doesnt visit for months on end and she is currently in one of her "not in contact" moods and has been for about 6 weeks (no birthday card/present - and we;'re twins!). We cant reach her by phone and she doesnt return calls. We havent seen her dh for months on end since he collected some stuff he asked my dh to get and went off without paying. Dh had to chase it 2-3 times before giving up. He called on wednesday to ask if we can store the con tents of his garage plus furniture in our garage which is already full. I had to say no as we are in the process of selling our house too and need to clear our own crap out. Anyway he told me on the phone that they were each renting separate places but didnt say where my sister was going to live. I text her and she replied saying she didnt know where she was going to live yet moved out yesterday! I do feel responsible for her though although havent a clue why

didnt want to let this drop off AC without any replies. I would just let your sister know you are there for her and try not to judge or ask any qs.

I do what your sister does to my family when life is all going very wrong. The ONLY thing that will help me get back in touch with family is a non-suffocating and non-judgemental approach - with no questions.

my sis is like this...

i dont say a word, just text her every now and then to say..come for a brew and a catch up.hope you are ok.

then dont say any thing, let her do what she wants to do.
dont give up, just be there.

she still hasnt returned any calls nor picked up her phone. She missed ds's birthday last week (although understand she is probably elsewhere in her mind). I am still worried about her as i dont have a clue where she is.
