[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 735679, member: 13542"] It must be extremely frustrating for you, I would be frustrated too. It's hard to be on the sidelines watching this go down.....being powerless to change anything.....I'd encourage you to find a way to let it go, to accept what you can't change. Often we need professional support to learn acceptance. It's not easy to recognize how little control we really have. Your parents are trying to make up for your sister's unhealthy parenting, which is not uncommon, unfortunately, they've slipped into enabling which is unhealthy in a different way. You seem to be the one person in the family able to see the truth and what is truly going on....it's a tough place to be when no one is listening to you.....often the person seeing the truth is seen as the bad guy who disrupts the broken family system....take care of yourself here, seeking short term counseling may be helpful for you.
