I want my sister back.

My sister is doing another one of her winding dives. She just informed me that her boyfriend gave her a phone so that she can text and everything (her current phone is on my mom's plan, which is FREE for her, but my mom refuses to pay for her texting). This generous gesture of her boyfriends means she now has a phone that will be signed up for a plan under HER name where she gets unlimited everything for the low price of $50 a month! Um, how is that comparable to free? Apparently it's worth it to her to not be under my mom's 'harsh' rules. This is after I just found out a month ago that while she was in her year-and-a-half of no talking to family, disappearing in another town, working in a gas station and living on a friends floor, her then boyfriend did the same thing; oh-so-generously got her a phone and gave her her very own phone plan, which she quickly defaulted on and ended up owing hundreds of dollars that my dad just had to recently pay. Back down the rabbit hole.

My dad doesn't know how to handle it anymore, they keep fighting and she demands that he should be treating her as an equal and that it is her house too, yet she refuses to get a job and begin to pay back the couple thousand dollars she owes him, and she has already trashed the brand new car that my dad bought and let her start borrowing 3 months ago. In one argument, she told him she can't handle all of this and that she's still depressed and could commit suicide at any time. Although it's obvious it's just her trying to get under his skin and scare him enough to leave her alone, we're all still terrified that she's going to end up disappearing again and/or that she'll pull another suicide attempt for attention and accidently pull it off.

My dad is planning on telling Amber tonight that she has three weeks to get her act together and get another job for the summer or she has to move out of his house. He's calling my mom to talk about it and discuss options. He figures she can move in with my mom and give my mom the chance to work with her; I'm just worried she's going to decide she'll just move in with her boyfriend or something. From what Colin and her friends have been saying, this guy is controlling, has cheated on her and lied to her, and refuses to hang out with her friends, it always has to be him and her, and is just overall not the kind of guy she should be with. But she's swooning and head-over-heels. I'm afraid she's going down the road to getting married to a not-good guy because she doesn't want to be alone and hasn't seemed to care who that means she is with, which again would mean she'd disappear. Basically, my family and I are just scared for my little sister and her decisions currently, all I want to do is protect her and instead it feels like she's pushing further away again.

Please pray.
