Have you done your siblings favors in the past? Irregardless I think that anyone would understand as you have so appropriately voiced here that you have been run down and really need help to get back on your feet. I just took a week off of work for several reasons... one of which was that I had been sick for 3 weeks and I was exhausted.

Is your daughter in need of counseling difficult to handle or is there some reason that they should say no to you?

I think that you could write them an email even... and say what you have here. You are run down and really just need them to help you. If they can not help you now perhaps they will be able to soon or in some other way. Why did they decline recently? Do you know?

If the sibs have kids perhaps you can facilitate success with some kind of reciprocation at a future date??

Can your daughter get any counseling assistance through school. Is her dad anywhere about and can he help out financially with her? I am guessing he might not be in the picture if he is not able to help with her for a weekend. Just asking. Any chance that you might qualify for some special program for her through a local university as a learning tool for them? It depends on her needs... but if someone that you call says no you might ask them if they have any ideas for who else might help. That way you can just go on an information fact finding expedition... not just yes or no. Might that assist?

I do understand your thoughts though... I would wonder if I should have asked, if I had right... I feel this when I ask one or another brother to help me with something. I am quite selective in my requests as I do not wish to spread them too thin or make it so I can not ask when I need to . It is difficult...I know.

Best wishes for you to be able to get some recoup time.
