Should I try to help my sister or just let her get on with things?

Question - (15 December 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 15 December 2010)
A female Australia age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I'm very concerned about my younger sister, she's recently turned 18 and has moved in with her boyfriend of 6 months. What worries me is the fact that their relationship is not stable; they have both cheated on eachother within the 6 months of being together, they've tried to break up and when the boyfriend did cheat my sister described him as a liar and she admitted how she can sometimes be controlling. Also, when they first met it was on a friends as benefits basis which one of the reasons why I fear that them living together is not the best of ideas, as well as finance issues and how she is only working part time.

I do worry about my sister but I doubt she has any idea about this and that I think this is a bad idea. Any ideas on what I could do or should I just let her get on with things?

As the older sister, you can definitely talk to her and express how you feel, what she should be aware of and any concerns she may not be thinking of. But ultimately, she's 18 years old. Sometimes the only way some people can learn is to make the mistakes themselves

If you approach her with questions like how do you feel about that and so on, rather than saying things about his faults, she may open up to you and then you can take it from there.
