certainly unburden herself of one of the cars. If she can just walk away from the house without financial complications from doing so - then maybe the daughter could commute to school - would it be a prohibitive distance?
Certainly over here, there is support available for the families of prisoners. In conversation with a convicted child sex offender once, he told me his parents had been ostracised and had to move from their village. Another lifer said that his mum was paying for his crime, that people would look sat her in the street, and where once she would have had a name, now to all she was 'that murderers mother'. What strong people in your sisters community that they are brave enough to victimise a victim. I suspect many are practicing christians for two hours every sunday. Fools the lot of them, may all their secrets be outed. Over here I would suggest she try the probation service for advice on how and where she can get help - they will certainly know, I think they will also have some experience of where your sister is coming from. As for your family help - just knowing someone gives a damn is a great comfort, and she knows you too have little, so she will know what a lot a little is.
