Hello, I have a sister who we have just recently found out is a drug addict. My mam and dad have always looked after her and basically left me to get on with it. I can’t tell you how much it hurt for them always being with her and her son. At the end of last year I had counselling and realised that I had my dad on a pedestal, for all the wrong reasons. I realised that he didn’t love my sister more than me, he controlled her. He put me down and I realise that it is because he couldn’t control me. It has gone completely wrong, my sister has never done anything for herself but he also made her believe that she was useless. It’s an awful situation to be in but you need to realise that if your mam turns her back she has to admit she has failed. My mam is still sticking her head in the sand with regards to my sister, even though my mam and dad are now taking care of my sisters children. My dad now wants me to help and now wants my son to go round so he can have a break. This makes me so angry as he has never spent time with my children and all of a sudden if it makes his life easier he wants my son. He even asked me to take my son round, not because he hasn’t seen him but he wanted my son to keep my sisters children entertained! I have to say to you that you and your family comes first. Don’t live your life to support your brother or your mother, support yourself and your family, it’s not your rod to carry, as hard as it is to accept that. I wish you and your family every happiness and I hope your brother and my sister come out of the other side but they do need to do it themselves.
