Should I say smthin or keep my mouth shut for now?

A lil over 2 months ago my lil sisters best friend an boyfriend killed himself. Well since then she has been really mean to our mom. Which she has always been pretty hateful toward her anyways. But my mom got on to her for s sayin the f word (she’s 16) an she said it again so my mom spanked her. Since then she’s been awful to mom an made her cry its been really sad. I feel like I should say soemthin to her b/c its uncalled for how she’s been treating our mother. I’ve already tried talkin to her nice about it but that didnt work, an after hearing what she said to mom an hearing my mom cry it just made me mad! Im wantin to say somethin to her again but im thinkin maybe I shouldnt b/c she is still having a really hard time with the loss of her boyfriend… I understand she’s going thru a lot but I don’t think its an excuse for acting the way she is an bein so disrespectful to our mom when my mother has been nothin but good to us. What do you think? Is it too soon to I gues get on to her bout it? Should I just let it go?

Answer #1

Clearly your sisters hurting and shes angry and frustrated, loosing someone is hard and she will probably never get over this, but learn to live with it. Her being rude to your mom is a shitty situation but Its more then likely not actually directed at your mom at all and she doesnt know how else to express herself. Your mom needs to take your sister in and get her some help , talk to someone about what shes going through and how shes feeling and what not, help her with the grieving process in a more healthy way , your sister maybe be a little reluctant at first but talking to someone who know nothing about her and wont judge her and just let her express all those bottled emotions will help, if your mom doesnt get her help then honestly your moms not being a very support mother, if she says she cant afford it or somthing there is always help out there somewhere, counceler whatever it, she needs to talk to someone.

Answer #2

if she does not improve withing a few months, then I would highly advise getting her more professional help. your sister is not going insane, but traumatic events can change her thinking. they can change her mind, and they can changer her outlook on life. if that has happened, you want to get her help before it gets any worse. im sure that you know not to treat her any different if it comes to this point. do not treat her like an insane person or someone who is different than everyone else. treat her normally. and make sure you bring her to somewhere with a good reputation. someone who has a higher success rate. maybe a school councellor may work. there is no telling what she needs. it could be time, it could be the right words, or it could be that special someone. it will be impossible to predict. you’re doing all the right things right now. just keep putting up with her actions for a little bit longer. hopefully it will get better.

Answer #3

well, unfortunately, the only thing that I can think of would be to wait. it’s only been 2 months. and it is really hard on ANYONE to lose someone close. some people react in a negative way. the only way that I can think of her getting over this would be for her to move on to someone knew. she has to find someone else to date. if you talk to her, you have to first be understanding of how she feels. you have to understand that if she were to move on, she would feel really guilty about moving on because it would be disrespectful to boyfriend. you have to understand that she will be angry at you for telling her to move on. but it might be something that she has to get her mind on to. you should also talk to your mom. make your mom realize that she can’t take whatever your sister says too personal. remind her how much she lost, and remind her that she shouldn’t take offence to what she says just because of recent events. I know this is an unfortunate situation. but constantly give your sister love and support, and make sure that everyone else does the same way. it will be a lot better than giving her neglect, and constant arguing. I hope that she gets better.

Answer #4

im just hoping she will realize our mother loves her very much. I feel horrible that theres nothin I can do. All I know to do uis just be there for her. I cant imagine what she’s going thru. She just needs to remmeber her family loves her

Answer #5

I do understand all that an so does my mother. we;ve been there for her thru all of this. an I don’t want to tell her to move on b/c I don’t think I would be able to this soon if it were me. but I get what your saying. An I wouldnt even think about sayin anything to her if she wasnt that way toward our mom even before that happened. But yeah when I think about it I don’t think its a good time to try an grip at my sis.. I think she’s going thru enough right now I just hate it b/c my mom is in a lot of pain that my sister is bein so mean to her… I don’t know what to do I don’t like to ssee either one of them hurting
