My older sister is going through some hard times with her partner. Should I tell them what I think or just back out completely. I hate seeing her and her children upset by her partner but she really loves him and wants to make things work even though I think she is silly to go back to him.

I think she is not silly.one side, he want to get him back to her aside and save the family relationship,the other side, she want to give the childern a whole warm happy family.she don't want to make the children live in the shadow of the apart parents.i hope you can support her to save the family.It is just my opinion.thanks

I understand that my sister wants a family life and can not face life on her own but she has to get her priorities right and think about what is best for the children.

I also have a sister-in-law, older sister of my wife, that has almost the same problem with her husband. Of course, when they fight, they children can see them and that will give bad impression to both parents. We can never tell what their children will look upon them. It is really disgusting to know, that almost every week, they fight out of senseless thing. Worst is that the husband physically abuse the wife, my wife's older sister. But what can we do to help her? She don't even want to talk about them. So even when there is already a crime committed by her husband, against her, we can't do nothing. So we let them by themselves, live that way they want it. We pity her and the children, but we cannot force her. Maybe that is what they call, LOVE. KEEP SMILING = NEIL

Thanks for your response. My sisters rlationship is not quite that abusive but worrying never the less. But as you say, what can we do if she does not want to see common sense.

Not only to your sister for any individual there family life is very important and I think its very easy to destroy a relationshp but again to get that you will have a tough time...so ask her to speak to her husband alone when the children are not there...or send the children to some other place for some days and ask her to convince him...try to make him understand...and u shud help ur sister to make up the relationship and not to brake up...I think u can help her...All the best

by this its clear that your sis is very good at heart...she wants to make up their relationship with her pure love.and give their children both the parents love.at this time you should be a strong shoulder to her and support her in whatever she does.keep her happy all the time upto your extent which gives her extra strength.have nice day
