      Its hard as not matter how hard you try to help its never enough, firstly your sister has to admit she has a problem until then theres not much you can do other than be there and making sure the children are safe. Something must have made your sister turn to drink, but finding out maybe a long road, you can only be there and lend a ear when she needs it. As hard as it is try not to shout or tell her what she should be doing as this will make her drink more, as they can feel as if they have failed somehow. If things get really bad speak to your gp and ask for help. I wish you luck hope you get something sorted soon

      Thank you for sharing your story.

      It seems there are few services and research done considering the experience of family members, in particular siblings. That is why I am conducting a research project looking at the narratives of siblings, encouraging others like you to share their experiences. If you wish to participate and share your story or would like more information please contact me at u1422721@uel.ac.uk. Thank you.
