Hi Steph, I just want to say whatever you do PLEASE get family intervention!!! My nephew committed suicide 3 days before his 36th birthday. We ALL knew he was depressed and taking meds for it but we just figured he was a little more depressed over this woman who was using him and he wanted to be left alone to deal with it. Anyway, he shut himself off from the rest of us and his friends. This went on for about 3 months. We thought he was just busy working (he continued to work all this time)and he would get back in touch with us soon. Especially his grandmother who he was exceptionally close to. The next thing we know there's a phone call to my husband from the sheriff's department asking if we knew him. He had gone out and was drinking, not taking his antidepressants, and waited for the woman at her house (no car but on foot hiding). She arrived home and he shot her, put her in a plastic trash bag, put her in HER car (in the trunk) drove it to a creek, got out, pushed the car into the creek. He then went back to his apartment by foot and showered, then shot himself. Now there are 2 adults dead, a family devastated, (ours) and 2 little children without a mother,and her family devastated. Could we have done anything to prevent this? I don't know, but I sure run it through my mind over & over asking myself that question. How did I miss the earlier signs?? So,PLEASE don't worry about what your sister may say or feel about you for intervening, you could be saving her life!! I also agree, her husband is enabling her and he should be trying to reach out to the family for help for her.
