My sister is 23 years old, she has just had her second child in july. Out of wedlock. He daughter had to be taken to the childrens hosptial a few hours after birth. And she is still there. We all know it is hard on her. But since she got pregnet the first time, she has been angry, sad, depressed. But it has escalted in the last months. She is just so angry all the time. My parents are always there. But my mom can't take it anymore. She tells my sister she needs to go to see someone just to talk things out, but she wont. Everything we do for her is wrong. What can we do?

Pray for her. I would also remind her that she should keep her legs closed if she doesn't want to keep having babies.

hi there this sounds like post natal depression and if she wont go to the doctor then get the doctor to see her ,this needs to get sorted her feelings mst be all over the place and ive suffered from this after my three daughters and it is no fun as you do not realise that you are behaving like this but you dont understand whats going on ,she might need some counselling and a course of tablets till she gets things sorted out but by leaving this it wont get better at all and with her 2nd baby still in hospital she must be thinking all sorts like its her fault that this has happened when there is nothing that could be done to prevent this ......good luck and take care of her i know things are hard at the moment but things will get back to how they where and she will thank you all she is lucky to have a family like you all xx

The answer is, you can't. She is going to have to want to get help for herself before you can do anything. Watch that you aren't enabling her behavior by making it too easy for her. If your parents are supporting her they need to set some goals for her to achieve in exchange for her keep. Keep it simple, even if it starts by keeping her own room clean, or getting up every night with her own baby, or getting a part time job to help pay for diapers, going to school and taking one class at a time, something to be productive. Hope this helps. Good luck to you and your family.

If her children are in danger you need to call Child's Protection Services.
You should try to talk to your sister and tell her how much damage she's doing to her children. Usually when women realize their behavior is hurting their kids they get help.
Good luck to your whole family....this is a bad situation.

Talk to her...LISTEN to her...you are concerned and she is scared and doesn't know what to do. DO NOT demand that she do this and that..that type of attitude will drive her further away. If all else fails..be there for her to talk to..let her know in no uncertain terms that you love her and want to help her get a solution to her condition.
Good Luck we have all been there at some point in our lives.
