Sisters can drive ya insane

My little sister is going through a divorce after being married for nearly 17 years. They've been together 20. They have two children. While I've been through a divorce, it was only five years long and no children.

Right now she's driving me nuts!! She started cheating on her husband awhile after she moved to Georgia. I suspect he might've been cheating on her before, but who knows. Then at some point, they decided to have an open relationship. Whatever!!! That's just nuts. Finally, they decided to divorce.

In the meantime, my little sister has been going crazy w/the men. I guess it's probably because she was married at 18 and didn't have a chance to "experience" things. Who knows. What I do know is that I'm tired of hearing about her exploits.

Recently she became involved with a man who claimed he was legally separated from his wife and she lived in Montana. Well, all of a sudden his wife is moving back. I could go into a lot more details -- but suffice to say that this man has told enough lies that even a moron could see that he was lying, never separated, etc. My sister says she sees that but the sex is so good!!! I told her no matter how good sex is, what about self-respect. She doesn't see it that way, I guess.

I worry about her emotional and physical health. She's in counseling, which is good; but she is now stuck in the victim mentality. She is saying her husband is enjoying the single life while she deals with things. Uhm, her husband is DEPLOYED TO IRAQ!!! Sure, I've never been to Iraq, but I'm fairly certain he's not living it up at nightclubs and whatnot over there. A lot of what she's dealing with is her own doing.

I just needed to get that out of my system!

I know how sisters can be, escpecially little ones. My sister drove me crazy for years! And then after a 3 week illness, she unexpectedly died at the age of 24 (in December)- leaving behind a little one whose dad was not around.

I kind of wish I still had her around to drive me crazy;)Gosh, I can hardly write that without crying.
