trying to cope with my sister is so hard, had a fone call 5am, to say she had been beaten again by her boyfriend, i saw her covered in bruises, she was drunk and saying she was going to leave him, but i found out 2day she has gone back to him yet again, shes lost so much weight and she was talking of killing herself again, just feel stressed with it all, its like looking at mum again and remmembering stuff, my heads done in emotionally, i cant help her when she doesnt want to help herself, shes living for the drink and says it makes her feel better but how can it when its the 1st thing she thinks about she wont admit she has a problem which makes it hard for anyone to help her sometimes i feel no1 else cares about whats happening to her, i feel so alone and stressed by her and constantly worried about her future, why wont she help herself and stop this cycle.
