Sis is a daily NIGHTMARE dating back to 1984.
Now she has 2 kids, 5 and 13.
She cannot be trusted with money, incapable of having friends or being out on her own, even to go to a store, Thinks about booze 24/7 while downing 35+ adivans a day.
Complains constantly about her so-called horrible life, the whole world is against her etc etc.
I have her 5 yr old son sleeping here tonight because she stole mouthwash today and got loaded and attempted to take off like she has in the past.
You know, take off as in hitchhiking, getting loaded with some stranger and getting gang raped and hopefully dropped of on my moms front lawn still breathing.
She seems to have an affinity to her little ‘walks’, Helps her ‘forget’ or something like that.
The walks are my moms worst nightmare.
I’m sick of this, she has no clue of all of the lives she has ruined around her.
She needs to be institutionalized.
But how?
What about the kids?
What a frigging nightmare i live.
Have you tried going to Ala-Non?
“’m sick of this, she has no clue of all of the lives she has ruined around her.

Maybe try to get her to give you legal custody of the children? In exchange for favors she wants or something?
You’re not responsible for her poor decisions. She is your blood kin, though.
Convince her to give you or someone responsible legal custody of the kids. Encourage her to rid herself of the addictions, and to seek treatment for what sounds very much like manic depression.
Do this whenever it seems necessary. But, she’s going to do what she’s going to do. It’s her decision. It’s hard to still care while letting the weight of responsibility go, but that’s the fine line you need to ride, imho.
Forgive her for her weaknesses and inconsideration and sin. Pray for her and ask God to help her out of this, and to help you handle it in His way, the best way. Try to limit the damage to her children.
Beyond this, it’s not in your control.
