[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 28 year old sister is doing this with my parents right now. My parents were far from perfect, but this is more about her personal healing than it is about them. And they (and you) need to respect that. If you don't, you risk losing her forever.[/quote]

OP here. Agreed, you can't argue with someone how they feel.  This is her narrative.  And one has to respect it.  But it is still bizarre. Things definitely got worse after counseling.  [/quote]
FWIW.
I'm this PP. I'm sorry you're dealing with this. I see how much pain my parents are in without her in their lives. As a mother of young children, I know I would be heart broken if one of mine did this to me one day. FWIW, I also believe my sister's therapist (from what she tells me anyway) is hung up on exploring her past/childhood to the detriment of dealing with what she needs right now. [/quote]

My sister is just as much or more the problem than my parents.  Maybe the three of you are petty horrible to  your  sister and she's had enough.  The most freeing thing I did was remove myself from them.[/quote]
