So.... my sister got pregnant and didn't want to tell my mom (abortion isn't an option for her) To get her to talk to my mom I said some mean things to her about her eather getting an abortion or letting the truth be known. Now (as she should be) she is really pissed at me. How do I let her know I really care about her and was only acting in her best interest?

like everyone else.....tell her how sorry you are that she feels betrayed by you and maybe you could have helped her in another way.....tell her you support her in any decision she makes, pointing out how courageous an act it is to give up a child for adoption when one is too young to accept that kind of responsibility. I have a cousin who is a minister who gave up a child when she was 20.....went on with her education and today has two foster children whom she and her husband have adopted. She still makes a yearly trip to see her biological child as these arrangements with the adopted parents was made when she gave up her parental rights. Good luck and be very kind and gentle with your sister.....she needs you so much.

You said it pretty well in your question and you should tell your sister why you said the mean things to her. Let her know what you told us. That you really care and want the best for her. Everyone gets rude and hateful sometimes and I'm glad you admit you shouldn't have said the things you did. Tell your sister. I'll bet she will be glad to know you are on her side!

By telling her and helping her.Hopefully she`ll tell your folks,this is serious.She has more to think about now then just her self.Mother might be upset but in the long run she loves you both and will want the best for your sister.

Your were shocked at hearing the news ,but how does your sister feel? Yes she needs to tell mom, fear of moms reaction is her concern. Apologize to her, and try to support her and guide her to going to mom. Yes time is critical, decisions are hard to make, and emotions are going to run wild. Good Luck,Patience love and support.

Tell her your sorry. And explain to her that it was shock to you and in that moment you just responded that way. And try to encourage her to talk to your mom sooner rather than later as she can only hide it for so long.

Walk straight up to her and explain everything... If she doesn't understand or doesn't want to understand... It's not your fault.. you only tried to help :)
