Re: Topic Tuesday // What can you do when a loved one doesn't want help? // Tues 22 Oct, 7pm AEDT
Welcome @light87 It is really difficult when someone is resistant to help. Sounds like you're doing all that you can for your little sister. How do you manage yourself, perhaps you have some strategies that can help others.

Hi @light87
A very warm welcome to the forum. It is great to have you aboard. Thanks for posting on our Tuesday Topic thread about your situation. I am sure that the forum members will be able to offer you support, information and connection. I am the moderator this evening. Feel free to ask the SANE forum team or the members if you need help with how to use the forum. The Guidelines are also a very useful doc,
cheers Whitehawk

Hey Daphne - thats interesting about rescuing and caring. I feel like she needs my support all the time but shes not always asking for it. And then when she doesn't want my help it feels like I should help her even more. I do try to seperate my feelings that come up of worry but its hard to try to balance that

@light87 I think it's important to remain respectful of your sister but I can understand your frustration. Have you ever asked your sister how you can best support her, or told her how you feel when she doesn't want your help.
