Grrrrr. My sister makes my skin boil. I know she's only 17 and at that age you tend to be naive, but god! It makes me want to peel the skin away from her ex boyfriends scrotum and then feed him his testicles.

That'll make him leave her be in peace. Thing is, it's mostly her, he responds to her calls, and her messages. He knows that if he wants her she'll come running. He's been seeing her school friend for the months whilst she was in hospital, no doubt screwing her and his ex (before my sis) girlfriend too, but suddenly he's dumped my sis' friend.

He's stood her up twice now, but she still wants to see if they can get it together. She doesn't like the fact that he does drugs, neither do I to be fair, but 'he has a nice personality' like that of an oil slick perhaps?

Why do the bastards know exactly who is vulnerable, and how to make them really lose their self esteem. What I'd like to see is him try it on with someone a bit older and wiser, and then see him rebuffed. I'm so fucked off with it. (sorry but I am) but I can't force her to see sense. Maybe a hypnotherapist could do the trick?

Other than that, she sounds almost back to normal, ditzy, dozy and self centred as usual. I only hope that she is on the mend, and not hiding behind some kinda pretense, coz to be honest I think they''ll take her off Section at the beginning of next week, which means mum picking up the pieces if it all goes wrong.

I can't cope with it now, I've practically switched off. I dread the phone ringing coz I know its either her or my mum. Mum rings me more often now, it's like suddenly she's gotten needy again, maybe needs to hear from her daughter who hasn't gone off the rails.

I think it strikes closer to home because I used to lust after a bastard too, but I knew it was lust, knew that it was never a long running thing, and thought better than to sleep with him. Thank god, for who knows what I might've caught, for in retrospect he was the town tomcat, and needed to be spayed/neutured long ago.

I've waffled and rambled, from being about my sis its become about me. But to all you ladys out there who love a scumbag - take note, there are lots of fellas out to treat a woman right. you all deserve better!
