How to be supportive in this situation
Family & Caregivers / by Searchingmysoul22

...See more Hey, I don't know know how to express it exactly. My sister is facing problems with her husband and in-laws. She tell me everything that bothers her and I try to do the best I can to support her without making her feel negative about the whole situation. Its being on since around two years and now I feel so emotionally exhausted and disturbed. She never follows my advice and suggestion which I totally get, its her life and she is mature enough to take decisions. But she tell me all the incidences over and over and look for my expressions and reactions and snap at the slightest hint of disagreement. I don't know how to be supportive as well as preserve my own sanity. I don't want to be so negative about her husband because I know she loves him and he is not wrong in all the situations and obviously many things should be dealt at their mutual level. But she has a problem with my take over this situation. I may be at wrong but I don't know what am I doing wrong because whatever I am doing turns out to be disaster. She is not ready to involve our parents and I am younger so I can't meddle. Please give some opinion what can I do.
