Help…
How do you convince your family they need counselling? There is only 4 of us. My mum, My mental sister, my little bro and me. My bro is ok but the rest of us…
My sister is mental. She is dangerous and really needs help but would rather throw things at me, destroy my stuff and want me dead. My mum gets angry and wont let anything drop and takes it out n everyone and when I confront them both about there aggression I never hear the end of it and it really makes me want to leave home.
I wont to be able to be open with them and tell them that they need to sort themselves out but I can’t.
I have suggested counselling to them before but it went down like a lead balloon.
How do I convince them to get the help they really need?

Where were you?
You can also watch events on Help.com as they happen
you should tie them to a tree and threaten to hit them with a truck until they agree to get help. i am being serious too.
Tempting but I’d get beaten to death first :-p
I really need to know how to sort them out. It has gotten to the stupid stage here.
yeah i guess that i didn’t think about that part. maybe you could get a family friend or a close friend to you that you can confide in to talk to them for you.
if your family starts to get mad just try to avoid them at the time until they cool down then go and try to talk to them
I’ve helped alot of people over my past 3 years of teh internet, and atm, im in skool, sitting by hottallhooker. I’ll give you some of my more detailed advice sometime later if you still need it. But, currently all i can say, in the most basic way, is, well, if ur sis wants you dead, avoid her the best you can, and when you notice when your mother is mad, then avoid her too.

ya, nice 1 dude, u totally copied my reply :P
what are you talking about my reply went up first.
you copied me you retard
Could do. Never thought of that. But that will only sort my mum. My sis… Will still beat me.
Hottallhooke and CaptainObviou… If I where to avoid them I’d never have a home. I’d never be able to go home. Avoiding just isn’t the answer any more.

i still think that you should get a close friend to talk to them and if that doesn’t work maybe you need to go and stay with a friend for a while until things get better at your place.
yo wut up hooker and obvious
how old is your sister?
Last tie I left I was gone for 5 months it was that bad. I came back and nothing had changed. Like I said if I went away the problem would still be here.
She is 19, 20 tomorrow.

agreed, find kind and caring friends that you can open up to and express your problems. They can probably soothe your mind and make you not stress so much over your family life at home.
Mmmm this is a difficult one - dysfunctional families don’t really see themselves as such - it is only usually evident to someone living within it that doesn’t fit in. Essentially, families rarely seek help and certainly not at the instigation of a family member. From what you’ve said you’ve made your feelings clear which is healthy for you psychologically - other than that you should attempt to distance yourself psychologically from them - you may need some help doing this and should talk to a trained professional about the situation you find yourself in - if you can do it by yourself that’s good too. I lived in a dysfunctional family and was very much the black sheep myself and so I know where your coming from with this - they never saw the error of their ways because to them I was wrong not them…
Take steps (no matter how long it takes) to build a future for yourself aware from them - aim at becomming financially independent as soon as you can and look forward to a different kind of future for yourself…
wow well i don’t know this one sounds really bad this one is going to take some thinking. i got it you can go to the Dr. Phill
i noticed you didn’t say nothing about your dad. is he still there
He died over 2 years ago. And no one even mention grieving is the prob because this has been going on WAY before dad even got sick and died.
she is prabably just one of those people she is not mental she is just someone who needs to be alone and do waht they want like tell her to go and spend some time w/ her frineds and have a destructicon with heavy metal.
destucticon is wehn you take a whole bunch of junk out to middle of nowhere build a bonfire and smash it then burn it and hang out with friends do some pyro stuff too that is what i do and it works releses anger rage hate all that stuff
oh well this takes me back to my first suggestion of getting help from a friend
send her to the junk yard with about $40 and your stuff will be fine

You should listen to this, keep looking toward your future, im sure you will make it somewhere good in life if you keep your grades up and work really hard toward your life goal. As for now, stick it out until you can finally leave> Make sure you have friends that will b there 4 u wen u need help mentally or possibly physically.
