Basic operant conditioning.. reward positive behaviour and punish negative behaviour What you're doing is the opposite. These girls act up, because they keep getting rewards for it.. you keep buying them stuff. Your punishments are just you taking away stuff you bought them, so, while they're...

Well... actually, I'm their son... youngest son. I think things were easier for me to work through, because I'm dealing with 40-something siblings and 70-something parents. We're all sort of at the end of our road on this journey. Where as other people... they're getting on here and venting before...

Well... the conclusion I came to is that I need to let my parents sort it out. They're the ones that lived with her for 20 years. They need time to go through things and sort them out in their own way. By offering to step in and try to act as a mediator to sort through her things and organize...

Yeah... I'm sort of getting back into all of this after distancing myself for years and being frustrated at nothing happening but my sister going downhill. As I was typing comments, it was just a lot of stuff coming out... more cathartic then emotional plea for help. What you say about the...

I guess I didn't really answer the "how do you know she's not going to be allowed back" question. So, basically.. my dad is head of household, but he gives in to my mom's wishes. This is the reason my sister has been given so many chances in the past. She would blow up at him and they'd get...

The interesting thing about mental health care in Texas... they spend a lot of time and money taking care of the patient... but no one offers any help to the caretakers, family, etc. My parents have dealt with her for 20 years... but only the past 5 has been with her being diagnosed and getting...

So... as others have stated... storing the stuff would be the best bet for right now until legalities get sorted out. My mom is in a "clean out the house" mode. They have a big attic that my dad laid plywood down in to use as a massive storage space (I was always the one that had to run up and...

Update ... Chatted with my mom today. The reason she felt like she had rights over most of the stuff in my sister's room.. is because my sister was basically going around the house and taking things that didn't belong to her and hoarding them. She was taking crystal bowls and things to make...

Yeah, I guess I spent so much time dumping emotionally I didn't give enough facts... We live in United States, Texas. My brother and I have been in rental situations for the past 20 years (with me renting rooms for about 5 years of that time in the past), which is why both of our first...

Title sounds really selfish .. like "yeah, sister got kicked out of house, and we vultures want to poach her stuff." To be brief.... parents (in their 70's) had to call police to get my adult sister (in her 40's) that's diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia out of the house after she confronted...
