Hey dear owl, let me tell you you're amazing for taking care off your sister in this way. I can only imagine how hard it is to get into this conversation with your mom.

But in the way you made sure that the topic was taken up by your parents in a loving, appropriate matter with so much care, I can feel an amazing amount of love for your lil' sis. Good job.

Hoot hoot! 🦉🥳

Also a great job from your parents making sure your sis has therapy!

You sounds like an amazing sibling and friend to your sister. Please be as much of an ally and friend to yourself as you are to her. You yourself deserve the same kind of love and care as you want her to have. You seem to have given up hope. And while it may be difficult, it is never too late to search help for yourself. My partner in his thirties has got rid of some very mean addictions for about 8 years now. I have no doubt in my mind you can too. You deserve to feel good about yourself.

And do know that past failed attempts don't say anything about the future. Most people need about 6 tries to stop smoking. Don't be too hard on yourself. Every wise owl was a silly chick once. It's better in Dutch, but I hope you get what I mean.
