[quote=Anonymous]Please try to lead with kindness and understanding, OP. I have a friend of over 50 years who sounds like your sister. She has many wonderful qualities but her ADHD and anxiety (and possibly high-functioning autism) can sometimes make social interactions difficult. I suggest you learn about ADHD/anxiety/autism and keep the lines of communication open. Gently set clear boundaries as necessary. My friend is very neurodivergent and her sisters were neurotypical. While she was the “successful” one in terms of academics and career, she continues to suffer greatly. Now that her parents have gone, she has been estranged from her two younger sisters (both married with kids) for several years. She is single and very alone. I feel tremendously sad for her. [/quote]
