sister question
| Sat, 06-07-2003 - 9:24am |
My problem is my sister wants to spend too much time with me. I have 2 kids and a husband and she is in an unhappy marriage and her kids are grown. I don't know how to tell her I don't want to feel committed to spending so much time together. This has caused problems with my dh and myself. Help.
Perhaps instead of telling her to back off you could try to encourage her to get involved in some new activities. It sounds like she has a lot of time on her hands that she needs to fill. Maybe you could suggest that she volunteer somewhere, join a club or other organization, or you could even introduce her to some people you know. If she has more friends and activities she is less likely to lean on you. Hope this helps!
