Personal Family Issue (4)

1 Name: Mikachu : 2015-11-14 18:05 ID:I4QFWHrO [Del]

About three days ago, my sister who's 19 ran away from home so she can be with her fiancé (now husband). This may sound great for her, but it's actually tragic.

You see, after my family learned that she ran away, they've been looking for her, trying to find out where she is and, unfortunately for us, she's actually at her husband's home. My mom went there so she can bring my sister back. My sister (from what I heard) told my mom that she's the worst mom ever and that she should leave her alone. Now, first off, my mom didn't do anything wrong. At all. So what the HELL?

When my mom came home she started crying and screaming about my sister, that she wanted her back, what did she do to deserve this, thinking suicidal stuff... (By the way, thank god that my mom is still here!)

My mom was had been crying and blaming herself for THREE HOURS. We decided that it was time for her to go to the hospital. It was about 3 AM until 5-6 AM that my mom came back into the hospital and went to sleep. I was there in case she was gonna do something. The next day, my mom was sleeping then she was CRYING in her sleep. I woke my dad up so he could do something to comfort her and later on we gave her a medicine and our oldest female cat ('cause my mom loves cats) to help her calm down.

Later on friends came and talked to her and so on. Yesterday we saw those friends again and they got a certificate of my sister's marriage approval. I was thinking that my sister was a total idiot who made my mom cry a lot and if I ever saw her again I would punch her in the face.

Today my mom is sleeping because she wanted to be alone. We called the husband's mom but she said that my sister and her husband are in a hotel or something. The one who called the number was my aunt. But no matter how many times my mom calls the husband's mom, her call would get decline. WHAT THE FUDGE? Do they not know how depress my mom is or not? It seems like they don't.

Anyways. What should I do? I really wanna help my mom but how? How do I help her depression? And my sister? What do I say or do to her?

I just want my mom to be happy.

Tell your mum that your sister is happy. Tell mum that your sister will realise the is wrong. Don't tell your sister about your mum. You need to wait for her to settle down. After a week or two, let the sister know about your mum and 'guilty daughter and forgiving mother route' will commence.

If it doesn't end well for the sister, mum will be there to mother her and 'happy family route' will commence. Tell sister about mum and the 'I'm sorry I was wrong' scene will occur.

>>2's right. Let things flow naturally. For now, just comfort your mom in any way possible, and tell her that it's not her fault. Although I really don't get why your sister would run away and act so aggressive towards your mother. I mean, sure your mother really should've just left her alone to adjust, but to send her home crying?

Dammit though, I hate it when I start acting like a devil's advocate, because now I'm wondering: Are sure your mom, dad, or even yourself never did ANYTHING wrong to her that would cause her to run away? If not, then she honestly sounds like one of those people who read too many fairy tales about true love and thinks that they're achievable :/

Since I (or we) do 't really know all the details about what happened (eapecially before your sister ran away), it's hard to give an advice on something quite missing a context.

For now, let things be. It seems there is no urgency for anything as your sister is (hopefully) doing fine at your husbands. As for you, your dad, and your mom, why don't you propose a conference between the three of you at the dinner table? That way you can all share your feelings, worries, and burdens. You're family, afterall.

Ah, feel free to do otherwise. I honestly can't propose anything more specific than that due to lack of information.

Good luck and take care!
