My sister has behavioural problems which make her argue and shout all the time, we are supposed to be seeing a family counciller soon because it's a REALREAL problem but my parents keep forgetting about me and giving my sister loads of attention because they say she's 'got problems' they keep explaining it to me and saying they understand how i feel but they just DON'T what do i do?
Mercy_x_Me answered Friday August 20 2004, 10:09 am: wow, thats really sad, sorry to hear. Its not so much they dont care about you, its just your sister obviously requires a LOT of their attention. I promise hang in there until she sees a counceler and things will get better. Try being really sweet to her ALL the time b/c you will be a good influence. Dont let her see you yell b/c that obviously will be no good for her case. Good luck xoxo.. if you neeed ANYTHING just inbox me ... :-D [ Mercy_x_Me's advice column | Ask Mercy_x_Me A Question ]
xlostangelx answered Friday August 20 2004, 8:32 am: I had the almost the same problem before. My advice to you is even though it's really hard at the moment, deal with it. Your parents want anything else than to hurt you right now. They are just feeling that your sister needs more attention because most likely your sister was acting out and being bad because she felt like she wasn't getting enough love. So, now your parents are trying to give her love so she won't act out and feel alone anymore. They are not giving you as much attention because they look at you as "the good one", the one that they can rely on to be good. And, if you start acting out and being bad because you don't think they care anymore about you, then that's probably how your sister was feeling too, which made her act out. I know it's really hard but please hang in there, because your sister will get better and be happier, and then everything will be okay. I promise you that. You just have to help with the situation, and try to understand. Lemme know how it works out.

chaos answered Friday August 20 2004, 8:30 am: I hate it when that happens. Just try to be good and hold up your end of the log. I would definitely bring it up with the family counselor. Remind your parents often when you need something because as long as she is getting all the attention you may be forgotten for a while. Chances are that your sister needs to be ignored for a while, but see what the counselor recommendsd. [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]
