I think this is the right place to be to ask a question like this. I'm here for my sister. Long story short, my sister is actually really my cousin. Her parents died while she was an infant and my parents raised her. She ran away from home at about age 14. From age 14 to 18 she was in the system and lived in a few group homes. Shes also had some trouble with the law. Shes 28 now has a few kids and lots of other baggage. She says she needs help emotionally because she is hurt by her past. Shes thinking about putting her kids in the system because she cant take care of them. I'm only 20 myself and cant do much but pray and offer support for her. She says people don't understand her pain which I get because I have both of my parents. The situation with her wasn't handled the best way because they didn't tell her mom and dad died until later in life. Coincidentally she is also suffers from a personality disorder. I really want our family back together and to help my sister heal. Sorry this is long... anyone have any tips on how I can try to help her heal from her past and move on into the future?

To do anything to help herself,first she must think/feel she is WORTH the effort; and to do that,she needs to have self-esteem.
Please see if she will get these books to help lift her worth;
"Honouring The Self",and "The Six Pillars Of Self-Esteem" by
Nathaniel Branden. The guy is a psychologist and expert on
self-esteem,he changed my life-do urge her to get them.
Kind Regards,
