EMAIL RE: CANNOT COPE WITH SISTER IN LAW: Hi, I would really like some advice regarding my 19 year old sister in law who lives with me. She is driving me crazy! She is currently on her 8th home in 3 years, this is the 2nd time she has resided with me & my kids. She cannot seem to grow up & get her affairs in order like look for a job, get some identification, maintain her government assistance Payments or attend appointments. she waits for others like myself to do things for her & solve her problems & when I go tough love on her & stop doing things for her she has a meltdown & will write statuses on Facebook about suicide etc. I dont want her to live with me but the thing is if she doesnt live here she will be on the streets as she has burned all family & friend bridges already & cannot see or have any insight into why that may be! Its never her fault & she is always the victim. She refuses to attend a GP or counsellor I dont know what to do anymore? I am only a younger mother myself & feel like I shouldnt be raising a teenager yet, but if I dont she will be on the streets and I dont think I could carry that on my conscience. Any advice would be welcome but please dont comment if you going to attack me for feeling this way, my life as i know it has clearly been turned upside down and I am struggling to cope. Thanks in advance :)
