Volatile Sister

[thattimeofyear]

I'm worried about my sister. She has always been volatile, used to get in fights all the time when we were younger and even now constantly gets into arguments and I always stand by her.

A few weeks ago she attacked her husband by kicking him in the stomach because he said he had bellyache. He was going to report her but I managed to talk him out of it.

Anyway this morning she has had a fight with a parent at school in front of all the kids, she slapped a woman, the woman went for her and they ended up fighting and the head came out going mental and the police were called.

She's doing a social work thing at the moment and next year she hopes to get put on a placement but surely this isnt going to happen?

Sounds like she has a real medical issue...she needs to get help.

i think her dh should press charges - this may wake her up a bit or her to get the help she obviously needs. good luck.

She sounds way too volatile to work in a stressy and sensitive profession at the moment. She needs to get her temper sorted.

Eww that is revolting behaviour in an adult (well in anyone actually). Is she mentally unbalanced or something? She needs professional help.

sorry to say this, but i have to agree with robin and carmenerry
i've got ADD and one hell of a temper, but dude...this needs sorting as it could really ruin her life.
was she arrested at the school?
charges? if so, bang goes her placement if the charges go ahead
how very worrying for everyone
what was the school row about?

Very wrong of you to talk her dh out of pressing charges would you have done the same if it was him that kicked her in the stomach?

She needs to face the consequences of her actions

Good point ConnorTraceptive [good name!] made- if a man would they get away with that?
Kicking her dh in the stomach?
She really needs help.

I think that by talking her husband out of reporting it you are condoning her actions.

Would you also have talked your husband/sister/friend/child out of reporting it if somebody did that to them?

Stop helping her carry on behaving like this - by standing up for her and talking her husband out of taking action, your are enabling her to be violent without taking the consequences.

She needs to see her doctor asap. How the hell does she expect to help other people when she can't help herself?

Why did she kick him in the stomach because he had tummy ache? That would make his tummyache worse.. how mean.

Probably best not to stick up for her anymore, and to let people press charges. She clearly needs help.
