Sorry hive, I know I dump a lot of my emotional crap on you guys, but I don't feel close enough to FI's family to discuss it with them and only my dad's side of the family lives anywhere close and so I don't want to listen to their comments and rude remarks about the situation. I just want to tell somebody what's happening and have them just take what I say for what it is...

So in the aftermath of all the problems that've cropped up in my family over the last year, my little sister (we'll call her L) is starting to severly act out and I'm really getting worried. My parents just recently finalized their divorce and my dad has 85% custody of L. It's been very stressful for us all, but to make matters worse, L is the only one of us three daughters still living at home and is rather stuck between my parents. My older sister is solidly siding with our mother, mostly due to the fact that she is separated from her husband right now. I've sided mostly with my dad because for one I was never close to my mother and he's always been there for me and two she has forced his hand in almost everything that's happened. He even had to file the papers to divorce her because she wouldn't do it, but at the same time she was fooling around with a guy she's been dating since at least a few months before they separated.

So, earlier this week L apparently had a benadryl (I think that's what it was) party with some of her delinquent friends and L passed out on the couch and they just left her there. My dad found her and I believe had to take her to the hospital to get taken care of. To top it all off, he and my mother were fighting all that night over her lack of involvement in L's life (I don't think she's much fit to be a mother anymore and as such didn't call on mother's day, but that's a whole other story) and so after finding out what happened that night my mother promised to be more involved, but remarked that L needed to "get over not wanting to be around P", her new boyfriend. L is very uncomfortable around him as he's very disgusting looking and acting and obviously he is the thing that broke up my parent's marriage. I just can't believe how my mother is still putting this random stranger (in my view anyway) ahead of her own daughter, the one that she always spoiled and was practically best friends with...

@beekiss2 I try to be there for her, but I live a few hours north of them, so have rather limited contact. I did invite her to stay for a few days with us so we could just hang out, but we'll see if she can or not.

@rlsulli She was getting counseling, but decided to stop going of her own volition. I don't think she wants to go talk about her feelings anymore or if that will even help. She could just be testing the limits of her "captivity" again as my dad has been letting her get away with more than she's used to getting away with.
