Thank you all for your encouragement.

Sometimes I just get so overwhelmed by all of it. I spent all of my session the other day talking about this.

I had called my mother to give her the good news, that I had passed my fundamentals of nusring class, as I was failing half way through the semester and was ready to drop out, but decided to stick it out and my counselor also encouraged that, so I did. In the end I came back and ended up recieving a B in the class. I was so excited....

Unfortuantely , I lost my hard earned 4.0 that I had maintained before being accepted into the program.....but after dealing with all of this stuff in counseling for the first time.....recieving a B was huge for me at that point.
Anyways, my mom said she was happy, etc....then came the couseling talk again. I tried to shut it down but it didn't work.

Chaotic....
My sisters are not little. They are 28, 31, and 33. They realize that they have problems from what happened. I decided to see if they were ready to talk about it, yes, it was the first time. I asked them each at seperate times, when I was alone with them. When I thought the time was right.

They all disclosed things...but not in great detail at this point. I really believe they want counseling. They recognize they need it. One of them has already tried to commit sui*ide in the past. I am trying o look into some group thing now that we girls can do together. The whole poisoning thing my mom mentioned is due to the fact she doesn't believe in counseling.
You'd think you'd want your kids to be helped, I don't get it. I love my little sisters. One of them is not doing so well and another one has been in a very abusive relationship for years and can't find the courage to leave. I just want them to be happy, I want to be happy. Can't see why my mom sees that to be so threatening.
