crazy sister

[ciscoo]

What is the name of your state: Michigan

Ok my sister is one of those emo people, the ones who hate the world and think everyone is out to get them, and she is basically nuts and a failure. She writes on this live journal site, which is viewable by her friends, about killing herself, having voices in her head, being involved in drugs/gangs, etc. Anyways, two years ago she accused one of her friends of sexually molesting her, the year after she says that our next door neighbor raped her, which was never proven due to her not wanting to go to court, the investigator told my parent that she thought my sister was lying. About a month ago she accused me of raping her; she has been posting this on her live journal thing since November and has told her friend. One of her friend decided to tell one of the guidance counselors at her school (which I also attend) about it and there was a big stink, but because of my reputation nothing continued. My parent and I honestly think she needs help and is lying about everything and I thought that she would have stopped but she is still insisting on putting it in her live journal and telling her friends. This is seriously making me wonder how many people have heard her lies and what it is doing to my reputation, that I have worked hard to gain, I am seriously thinking about charging her with slander, if I can, any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

Thank you

I didn't know what emo was until my teenage son explained it to me. She sounds beyond emo. Those are major attention-seeking behaviors. She may have a mental illness or personality disorder.

Are you both in high school?

Does she use your name when she writes in her online journal?

Can your parents get her into some therapy? I think that would be better than trying to file some kind of slander charges against her. I'm not an attorney but from what I've read so far on this site, you have to be able to prove damages, which is not easy to do.

She is crying out for help. Somebody please help her.

Slander is a civil charge, it means someone is defamed can sue in civil court for recourse for damages suffered. It is not a criminal act and no charges can be brought. Insist your parents get her help is all you can do at this time.

I know she needs help, and so do my parents but she does not want it. She stayes in her own little world were she is treated badly when in fact she has a great life. She pretends to be someone else so she can talk to her friends about herself, she evens writes fake MSN convos between her and her other self. As for naming me in her journal no but her friends that read them know who I am and she uses the word "brother". As for suing her, can I do that, because she is ruining my reputation and the opinion of people toward me, she needs to be taught a lesson and if my parents wont do it I will.

How old are you and your sister?

You are going nowhere with this. Your parents can force her into treatment. . . .whether it will do any good is anyone's guess.

BTW- you really aren't old enough to have any kind of reputation, come back when your 30.

Everyone’s life is different, how would you know if I have a reputation or not, not all teen are sex crazed drug using morons. If you did not have much of a reputation when you were my age then that is you but don’t assume that I don’t have one. I do however appreciate your reply.

If everyone remembers I had nearly the *exact* same problem with my dopey sister, her accusing me of "every time I'm having sex with my husband I think I'm having sex with you" and Beyond. The only difference is I was 26 when she started acting out and she was 31.

In the end I took the best advice I ever heard and ended the relationship. I haven't seen or heard from her in 12 years, since I had to call the Homicide DT's because of the older sister's soliciting my involvement in a Murder For Hire Scheme.

Actually my understand is that since she has posted her desires to harm herself, she could be forced into treatment even if she were over the age of 18. Since your parents have custody of her it's a non issue but anyone can be forced into treatment or 302'd if they demonstrate a willingness or desire to harm themself or others or represent a threat to themselves or others. Given that her blog is available to use as evidence, it wouldn't be much of a stretch to have her committed against her will. Again, a non issue since she is not 18. Your parents can commit her without even that. Whether they have the gumption to do it or not is the only question left. I would suggest at least some sit down time with a psychologist by way of diagnosing her specific issues, which won't likely get any better with time, rather worse.

I'm just skimming here, but sometimes the best avenue is END THE RELATIONSHIP!!!

I did, and have few regrets by realizing the people who were once my Family don't exist anymore.
