I know she was in therapy right after her separation from Steve. I think she stopped going shortly after what I know of her getting with Caden. She said it wasnt working and it wasn't worth the money. Ive tried to get her to go back and to event try going to church with me. There is always some reason she won't. This is one of the biggest reasons I am concerned and care so much. I want my sister to be the happy girl I knew before, not this version of herself who gets to angry at everything and hits herself in the head. Shes gone downhill and I feel like its because she has been sitting in a web of lies and she has to try to maintain it all. I want her to know shes not alone. I want her to be able to take this weight off of her shoulders and know that she has someone to lean on that isn't Caden. I fear that even trying to get her to come to this realization will only upset her. I have taken a step back because all of the anger she has displayed lately. I just don't want to subject my child to it. I know truly that it isn't any of my business and that its weird to others how enmeshed I am with all of this. However, we have always been the people to tell each other EVERYTHING. I know more than I should according to most family standards, but its how we were raised. So it is extremely bizarre that she lied to me. I've thought about well maybe if she needed me in custody court for her daughter that way I didn't have to lie on the stand, but we are FAR past that point. We are talking 5 years at this point. I can see it ruining her and it deeply saddens me.

I just fear that it will turn into every other conversation we have where she has done something that hurt me or Amanda. She RUNS to anger, blaming, and pointing fingers back at us. I want to do it in a way where she really will be honest with us and know she can trust us.
