Difficult Relationship with Mentally Ill Family Member

A woman wonders if the situations, people and family members that come our way are fate. She describes her relationship with her sister who suffers from dissociative identity disorder and asks if she should or could actually be helpful. She judges herself for her protective behaviour towards herself. Rupert responds that her reaction is completely natural, and that it is inevitable that she would be adversely affected by it. Don't think of it as a failure of your understanding, and similarly, don't judge her sister. Guilt is the way the ego asserts itself, so is not helpful or true.
