When my best just isn't good enough, still.

[Kathush]

So, a few of you know I have a younger sister. She is an alcoholic and also suffers from mental illness like myself. She has a tendency to kill my heart with her loud words, saying I should be dead and etc...

These words come out of anger, likely from her own self. But gosh, these words kill my heart. I love her very much, and try to be there for her as much as I can.

I have taken her to get help, but when we get there, she refuses and asked for Xanax.

I guess I'm just looking for a compliment, on how well I am to be in mental distress myself and being there for her.

It hurts, it really hurts. 😢

Thank you for reading.

I feel you. My brother used to tell me to kill myself. Sometimes you need to allow some time away from your sister. Honor your sense of self preservation. She will manipulate you into being the bad person..Alcoholics do this in order to keep the attention off of them and their drinking. You might try ALINON it is a safe place. hugs, you are not alone.
