LPM, your sisters behavior reminds me much of myself at that age. I had an older brother that made many many sacrifices to try to bail me out of situations I created for myself. It wasn't until I could no longer rely on him to clean up the mess i had made of my life, that I decided to do it for myself. It was a very difficult thing for him to do, but until i decided to grow the hell up and take responsibility for my life, nothing he did actually helped me. I traveled a pretty rough road for a number of years (drugs, crime, homelessness, fights, etc.) All you can really do is offer some guidnace and advice when she asks for it. Sucks, doesn't it?
