Family Issues Support Group
Family issues is a huge range that go from minor conflict to major misbehaviour and even abuse on the part of individual members of the family occur. Whether you feel you are in a dysfunctional family or you're dealing with a very specific issue, this is the place to talk about it and find others who might be going through the same thing.
i told her this and she told me that i was just trying to ruin it for her, because she doesnt think that i could actually care about her, when i do.
if you've told her and she wont listen, then really there is nothing more that you can do unfortunately. one day she will realise what you were talking about, and she will regret not listening sooner.
Intolerant people are generally not intolerant of only one area of life. It is usually how they approach most issues and what you did might save your sister from making a decision that might not be good for her.
I guess that I did what I had to do and told her. If she stays with him, and it seems that will be the case, then I will have to live with the fact that my sister was not able to make a better choice and they will have to live this way and make the best out of things.
I don't think she is capable to seeing that what he is doing is wrong. I think that she is badly treated by my mom and my dad is not a great influence (my dad is very prejudiced too) so she sees in him the rejection she gets from my mom and the harshness she gets from my dad. So in essence she is repeating the patterns of her childhood in him. With the way my mom treats her I think that she has made a good choice in him :)
It is just very difficult for me to see this injustice. I hate to see people suffer from things that are not their fault. Why should she bear the faults of my mom? I just can't take is sometimes. It actually reminds me of how my dad treats me and that is why it is hitting so close to home for me. I don't know if things can change.
