My ESTP 15 yr old sister has run away from home. She is staying with my other sister in the mean time, but she won't talk about it, she won't open up about whatever is bothering her.
Basically my parents found out she has a boyfriend, my parents are strict muslims (my sister had to wear a scarf/hijab), and beat her so she called the police, the police came and she ended up going to my sister house.
This is basically the end of my family, all 6 children who could run away, have now run away from home. My enfp brother lives with me for similar reasons, and of course I ran as did all my other sisters and my other brother.
I understand why she has run away, but she has closed everyone out. She cries, but not like I would cry. It's a few tears and she gets mad and forces herself to stop. You can tell she is tough, but unless she opens up how can we help her deal with the trauma she is feeling right now?
I want to help her, but unlike with my enfp brother (who did open up to me) she is a closed book.
How can I help her?
