I too grew up around abuse and neglect. I think a lot of that is rooted with my sisters drug problem and my mental health issues. It's good she can open up to you. When my sister lived with us she brought up some stuff that made me realize the **** my stepmom and dad put me through wasn't just in my head. It's crazy but it made me feel closer to her. Keep talking to her.
Thanks. I find it weird... I'm the one diagnosed schizophrenic but it seems like I 'm the most leveled headed people in the family.
