I really don’t know what to do. My sister (she has kids 12, and 16 yr. old) took in this guy, and shortly thereafter she started using meth. Her kids can’t stand him, she thinks they love the low life. He is another story. Anyway her life is a mess, she doesn’t have clue on how to raise and supervise her kids, she is going down the tubes fast and just clings to her boyfriend. She says she loves her kids but she makes drugs (parties all night) and her boyfriend her #1 priority. Meth is the kind of drug that totally distorts her reality, and she’s very hostile about everything. I have called drug counselors and they say she has to lose everything BEFORE its apparent that she needs help. Her children are very difficult to deal with, so I can’t have them move in with me, and besides if I took her responsibilities off her hands then she’d just party full time. As I write this I am getting frustrated because for 20+ years our family has been on a roller coaster with her addictions, and all her bad decisions in life. The only reason I am writing this is because when she had a moment of sobriety (6years) we did everthing together. She was my best friend. Our kids loved to be together and just hang out. The moment she brought that man and drugs into her life, she has been a total different person. I miss and love my sober sister, and I have not seen a that side of her for 3 1/2 years. I want to just give up and wait for the phone to ring…that she overdosed on meth and her heart stopped. Her drugs have torn my family apart on more than one occasion. What do I do? She said she doesnt’ have a drug problem, she only uses meth “recreationally” and can handle it. Lets see, her oldest son moved out, two cars were impounded and taken away, she has been served a 30 day notice, and her section 8 was just taken from her because she had a man living with her. Please save your welfare judgement, we are on the same page when it comes to MY tax dollars supporting people like this. I am her only family member that she MIGHT listen to eventually, or should I just give up?
