[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love my sister, but she is a mess right now...

She got married a few years ago. She is still married but they aren't together. She doesn't even know what state he lives in. She says she needs $1500 for a divorce. Now she is in a bad relationship with a verbally abusive jerk. He never helps her out financially or in any other way. Her and my niece have been living there for a couple years. (Niece is not from guy she married). My sister hasn't had a job in eight years. She went to school for a couple years but decided she didn't want to do that anymore. Now she wants to go to some other school that has a 6 month program. But she doesn't have the $100 to register. The other day her car broke down. So now she has no car. Jerk bf won't let her drive his vehicle. She won't move in with our dad because she says she doesn't want to keep moving her daughter around. I am able to help her out sometimes with rides but I am not able to every day. I just feel exhausted and frustrated with her. Idk what to do to help her. It's just bad thing after bad thing and excuses about trying to find a job. (Says she turns resumes in every day). She is almost 40 and I just don't know what to do anymore. I wonder is she is depressed.  She calls me crying a lot. [b]I am not in a position to help much finically.  [/b]

Any thoughts or advice? [/quote]

You don't have the money, so helping her with money is a non-issue. You can listen. Tell her that you love her. Tell her that you know it sucks, but you know that she will find a way to get through this.  Encourage her to seek out community resources that will help her get her stuff together. When she gets to be too much, turn off your cell phone and take some time for you. [/quote]
