My sister is too obese for me to care for her.

I think all the people who are on here trying to sell their items are the most worthless idiots in this world. I suggest we all pray for their sales to go so downhill that only a miracle would save them. This site is for people to write about a problem and get support from other not to have leeches try and sell their products. GO AWAY

So many emotions go into care giving. In addition are the threats real or imagined that leave one to feel as though they are being attacked on a more deeper personal level.
Perhaps the best way to approach this is through the assistance of an outsider, or mutual friend whom you both respect. Sometimes we can't see the forest through the trees no matter what.
I'm my mom's care giver and obese as well. I have the support of my husband and my sister and could not do what I have to do otherwise. Seek guidance from whatever resources available. You are not alone.
You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

It sounds like your talking about my sister except on top of all that she smokes, drinks to access, gambles, and lives in an abusive relationship. She is ultra sensitive and the only way I approach it is when I use staementments about myself losing weight and excercising. Its really scary because she has lots to say about everyone else but has no honesty towards herself what-so-ever. i don't have any answers just some empathy. Hang in there and don't forget to take care of your self because if you don't do that you can't be there for someone else. Peace & Blessings
