I come from a family of 6
I have 2 older brothers
Me
My little sister (16 rn)
And my parents.
My brothers and I suffered a lot from physical abuse and the absence of parental love (emotional and physical)
My sister is 8 years younger than me.
She didn't have to endure physical abuse. The absence of emotional and physical love from my parents is still the same though.
While she seems to have no issues with it.. (she has lots of friends at school, she has a girlfriend and I try to be there for her as much as I can because my parents nor my brothers were there for me when I was younger)
She tried to kill herself a few months ago. The method wasn't very well thought about. I'm sure she is not on this website. She called my parents very quickly. I was out of the country at that time.
Now she is going to a psychologist that said she probably has to see a psychiatrist to get anti depressants.
She self harms as well.
It's scary.
I see myself in her minus all the friends she has.
I started self harming when I was 13 , Im 24 now.
I have been depressed since I was 12 but only got diagnosed at 17-18. Been on meds ever since.
She is my little sister. I cared for her when she was a baby. To see her go through the same path as me is heartbreaking.
I don't want her to feel the need to self harm. I know what it feels like. It's terrible that I know she feels like that.
I don't want her to be on medication for the rest of her life.
She is suffering but she doesn't show it, she doesn't want to talk about it but I'm sure my parents are involved a big part.
Yet , they don't realize. 5 nights after she did the attempt they went on with their normal life. Fighting , working 95% of their time and spending the other 4% away from home, 1% screaming all the time.
I feel so powerless.
I want to take her pain away, I am already numb I can take it.
She has to live a good happy life. Get married , have a dog or 2 maybe 3, get a nice job.. a big house, lots of money.
But instead she is suffering.
I don't want her to suffer.
