i've been a practicing witch of no particular type for a few years now and recently started a group with some freinds. we meet once a week and do spell work for people who need help. today i received a request that i'd like some suggestions with:
my freind ryan is having trouble with his family. he lives with his father and his sister lives down the street. his sister manipulates him into helping her all the time with her kids and babysitting them all the time. he has no free time and is really frustrated. his father thinks the one free hour a day he has in the morning is good enough and that his responsibility to his sister should come before his own interests. ryan allows this because he feels guilty. why? many years ago he did spell work to make his sister leave him alone. shortly thereafter she lost her kids to the state. i don't know the details of how all this went down, but he feels it was a direct result of what he did. she ended up signing them over permamently to the state. now she has 2 new little ones and the same thing is happening again. he is frustrated but terrified to do anything for fear of causing her to lose her children again. he has asked for help and i'm not real sure what to do for him?
thanks in advance for your suggestions
