[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks all.

15:55 - your advice is spot on and I did end up saying something very similar (in a longer overall message that tried to communicate my support clear also.)

19:18 - I also said some similar things to this (she is in therapy currently and has been for almost 20 years, and I referenced my own limitations.)

7:17 - yes, I think she may be implying something that dramatic, which is part of why I am not best equipped to help her.  Nor do I think that keeping dark secrets is a useful approach for anyone - she has clinical professionals supporting her and that would be the best place to start working through anything of this nature - if that is the case.  So I totally support that, I just can't take on her burden in secrecy.

7:52 - I totally understand your reaction.  It's a normal healthy response.  I wish our family was normal and healthy enough for it to be this simple.

Thanks all for the feedback and suggestions.[/quote]

Wow, if it's 7:17 and you don't want to hear it?  I am glad you are not my sister.  [/quote]
