[quote=Anonymous]OP, your sister sounds young, immature, naive, foolish, gullible, etc...   Many of us were that once and grew up.  Some of us are always that foolish.

There's not much you can do to change your sister.

You can, however, totally alienate her, invest waaay too much of your own energy into this mess, lose your perspective and jeapordize your own calm, etc...

I think you are way too involved, too harsh in your judgments, and very unforgiving.  It sounds like you have long standing resentment or judgment of your sister.

I think you should figuratively walk away.  It's her life - let her live it.  You don't have to condone her actions, but you also don't have to condemn her.  You might want a relationship with her in 10 or 20 years, or your kids might want a relationship someday.

I also think you might benefit from talking this through w/ an impartial third party - like a counselor.  Someone who can help you separate some of the emotion and personal reactions from a plan for actually managing to watch this go on in your family.

Good luck.[/quote]
