Let me tell you who I am.

I am a survivor, a teenage mother, a welfare recipient, and a woman.

I am a teacher, life coach, minister, lawyer, and author.

I've had my share of breakups, breakdowns, and breakthroughs.

I did my work and put my life back together piece by piece. I am I

Yianna Van Zand, and I am here to help you do your work. This is a story where two sisters

have become mother-daughter, where one gets taken care of and the other leaves her dreams behind.

Cherise, a Detroit salon odor, wrote to me saying she's tired of taking care of her sister,

Andrea, who she says behaves badly and drinks too much.

I want her to grow up so that I can have my life back.

Cherie says she's given Andrea a job at her salon,

and she lets her live with her for free,

while Andrea spends her money getting drunk.

I don't know if it's from the drinking,

or if it's just because she's a very self-centered person.

But my biggest issue with her is that she's not dependable in anything.

Cherise sent me this home video of Andrea drunk and out of control.

What I saw was horrifying.

You feel?

You feel?

Yes, she did.

I've seen her fall.
