and i feel totally helpless. she is a young, successful business woman. but over the last year, she has gone from being my carefree, loving, strong, independent sister to someone i hardly even recognize.
she seems to live & breathe for his approval. in my opinion, he is extremely judgmental and critical of her every move. & rather than being offended, she accepts it and explains: "he is a really good judge of character, if it wasn't true he wouldn't say it". he has also convienced her that she is the source of all their problems. WTF??
we weren't raised that way. our parents raised us to be strong, independent women. so what happened? how can i tactfully bring this up to her - without alienating her? lately, i feel it has been really difficult to talking to her about him, because she tells him everything.
he also convienced her to back out of her best friends wedding. (she was the maid of honor)
how do i talk to her - without pushing her further into his arms?
