My sister has me worried. She constantly lets people walk all over her, she doesn't stand up for herself, and she has two sons that she is Completely responsible for during the day, then dad comes home and undermines everything she does. If she says its bedtime, dad lets them stay up. If she says no, dad says yes. She says she has asked him to work with her and not against her, and he refuses. I have tried to tell her that she needs to stand up for herself, if not for her sake, for her children, because they can't continue to be raised like that. The result is that they have NO respect for her when they are alone with her and she has given up trying to make them mind. When I asked her why she doesn't stand up for herself, she says its cause its easier not to. She now says she feels worthless and unfit for anyone to love her or treat her right, and once before she began talking about ending her life. What do I do? She stopped talking like that, but she still has no self esteam.
