[quote=Anonymous]OP, this is heartbreaking. I also strongly advocate contacting NAMI today.

www.nami.org

Top of the page will be "Find Support." Click there to find a listing for "Family Member and Caregivers." Go there to get started.

Be sure to go here: [b]http://www.nami.org/Find-Support/NAMI-Programs/NAMI-Family-Support-Group[/b]
At this page, scroll all the way to the bottom for a link to NAMI's list of LOCAL support groups for family members like you.

OP, I really hope you can find a way to stay in your sister's life. Talking with others who have been in your situation absolutely will help. I also agree with the PP who recommended that you look after yourself by talking with a therapist, and a therapist should be able to give you some guidance on how to talk with your sister in ways that will help you at least remain a person with whom she will engage--even when she thinks the rest of the world is out to get her.

Please come back to us here and let us know how things are going.[/quote]
