My niece is 14 she's got ASD and ADHD
Me and my sister have a slightly fragile relationship as my son who is older and my daughter who is 10 years older have taken the scenic route through life. And not been text book kids. My sister has told me on many occasions it's parents who damage their kids.
My sister is extremely overweight and she's not wanted her children to be this way so she put them on strict diets from 4/5 years called them names, spent hundreds a month on clothes and designer things for them and they have a lovely life my sister would never ever do anything on purpose to hurt her girls but I think she projected a lot from her childhood - they are amazing girls and do well at school are polite and I adore them. I know their parents love them whether they are right or wrong.
My oldest niece (19) is stunning but 600 cals a day for 2 years, gym twice a day and looking underweight (about 6.5 stone and 5'3") but their looks are their benchmark - it's horrible really.
My youngest niece is 14 - not as slim, always been the "less attractive child" according to my sister not anyone else -
I have found out tonight that my youngest niece is being passed around for sex - not a boyfriend but for compliments, for attention and for fun.
As I say i don't have a great relationship with my sister but I would want to know.
My own kids who told me have said if I tell her mum i am opening her up for abuse (from her parents) but I can't do nothing can I?
She's a child and vulnerable
If I told my sister would this help?
Or would I be making things worse?
This is not malicious I adore my nieces I really do. My daughter had sex at 15 and I made sure she was safe and she was emotionally safe.
I wish I could just talk to my sister and I wish I could hug my niece.
