Been lurking here for a while, and I’ve seen many of posts discussing similair things. Before I created my account I thought ‘what’s the point?’. But I guess, just knowing I’m not alone in this is hugely comforting to me.
My sister has been addicted to alcohol, pain killers, ketamine and cocaine for the last 2 years. She lives with my mum, who is a wonderful woman, and my step dad. She used to be so kind, considerate, beautiful and just a wonderful person.
Unfortunately because of her poor relationship choices she is now a full blown addict, abusive, thief, losing stones by the month, liar and certainly not my sister.
My mum can’t cope, my dad is an alcoholic who also can’t cope, I have always been a best friend to my sister, but recently she has just been using me for money and transport amongst other things.
My mum doesn’t deserve this, I don’t deserve this, but what is there to do? She stopped her drug councilling after one appointment, she still spends 6 days a week at her drug dealer boyfriend (who I absolutely dispise) doing god knows what.
He deals crack and heroin. I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the next thing. Unfortunately I think that would be the end of our family as we know it. It will probably end up with my sister dead from an overdose and my parents in hospital or even dead themselves because of the worry.
I try and tell her she’s making the wrong decisions, I try and understand as much as physically possible what she’s going through.. but get absolutely nothing in return.
I’m lost.
