My sister in law is a meth addict. How do I deal with her?

Question by cherry7evelyn: My sister in law is a meth addict. How do I deal with her?
My husband’s older sis has been addicted to meth since she was 13. All of us have tried to get her counseling and rehab, even church. Doesn’t work for her.
We moved 32 miles away from her and she still comes around harassing us every now and then to “visit” her daughter, whom we are taking care of now. She doesn’t even visit with her daughter, she just crashes out.
Sis in law always causes a scene in which the neighbors are yelling at her. Our house is in a peaceful drug free newer neighborhood. She is very rude and dirty.
My mother in law says we have to help with the little girl.
Sis in law destroys the house with her filthy two year old and lets him run in the streets, saggy diaper only.(Which upsets the neighbors of course) When I tell her to leave, my husband and his whole family call me and tell me I’m causing problems!!! It’s MY house!!
What do I do? My husband always sticks up for her, he says, “That’s my sister, she’s sick” When he does have serious talks with her she laughs it off and still comes over.
She knows I hate her, she just doesn’t care.

Meth, like many drugs, can be in powder form.

Drug users at concealing their habits. Many don’t want to walk around in clubs with pipes and butane lighters or spoons and straws. So they use things that everyone carries to get their drugs into them. A common item is a key, any key. They dip the key into the powder. Some powder gets caught in the edges of the key and they snort it off the key. Beats snorting off a dirty toilet seat.

See if there is a Nar-Anon group meeting near where you live and see if you can get help from others who also love someone with a drug problem.

my sister is court ordered to go to AA because of her second DWI?

Question by sweetiepie: my sister is court ordered to go to AA because of her second DWI?
I went with her to a meeting to be suportive, but ended up very offended! The entire “meeting” was based on god and his help in recovery! Being an atheist I was outraged that a judge can order some one 4 times a week to go to a meeting that is practicaly like church! This is wrong How can I get her out of this class?
she gets nothing out of these meetings, and usualy sneeks out asap. she is not religious, or an alcoholic. she’s a bartender, and very irresposable.

Are we doing the right thing by not talking to my sister?

She gave birth to her 3rd child last week, and she has been court ordered not to have any type of contact with her other two children because she is a crack addict and an alcoholic. In her 8th month of pregnancy, we had found out she was smoking crack and drinking while she was pregnant. Me and my other sister gave her the choice to either commit herself to treatment, or we would commit her ourselves. She has been in and out of rehab for a couple of years and has been smoking crack for years. We have contacted all the proper authorities and nothing was done. She was allowed to leave the hospital with that baby. My family and I will have no contact with her at all. She was supposed to go into sober housing after she had the baby, and instead moved to a bad side of town in an over crowded apt. It is hard not to see the baby, but we are hoping she will be taken from her. Are we doing the right thing?

How can I make it clear I do not wish to hear about my estranged sister? My family is haunting me about this

My eldest sister is the original 50 year old drama queen who’s life has mirrored anything like a soap opera. If it isn’t 3 out of her 4 kids being hard core drug users, it’s her own drug use, her husbands alcoholism, lies, theft, police, jail, prison, the list goes on and on and on.

My eldest sister is not only mentally ill, but she is obviously using drugs… which she will never admit too. I am tired. I am tired of all the drama and considering she lives 1200 miles away I hear about it still.. through my other sisters.

I made the decision to remove the drama from my life. I have my own troubles and don’t wish to be drawn down anymore.

Most recently one of my siblings was speaking to me about “helping” the eldest sister and how I should feel sorry for her and forgive her. I said , “I forgaver her long ago” I just don’t want her in my life. I told my sibling that she needs to quit trying to fix something that isn’t hers to fix. How can I make i clear I don’t want
and honestly the stress isn’t good for my own health issues and neither on my husband who has multiple sclerosis. How can I make it clear and I mean it. I don’t want to be burdened anymore?

Help with drug addict sister?

My sister is 23 prostituting herself for heroin. She lost her kids and her apartment. My mother seems to be in denial because my sister tells her she is sober and she believes it. My 15 year old caught her. My mom still gives her money I’m afraid she is going to die. Can I have her put in rehab without her permission I really want to see my sister again as a result of her drug use we barely speak and we used to be very close it hurts so much Child services court ordered her to go to rehab and she wont she cares more about drugs than her own kids. Please tell me how I can get through to her.

How can I live with my, train-wreck, fresh from rehab sister?

I’m nineteen and trying to move out as soon as I physically can from my father’s house. Unfortunately that probably won’t be for a while as I am in the process of acquiring a car, a job, and a place to live. I’m in a rush to leave because my eighteen year old sister is harder to live with then most crack whores, (not to offend any working ladies with access to the internet.)

Honestly though I’ve never witnessed a more pathetic excuse for a human being. When I see people making first impressions with her I am compelled to yell, “RUN!” To save them from her pretentious advances and put on darling attitude. Both are short lived once she has your trust. From there she will manipulate, exploit, deceive, and take advantage of you until you realize you are just a means to a end for her.

For example when I did treat her like a person she:
-Tried paying my friends with sex for pot.
-Accused me of beating her and called the cops.
-Accused my fourteen year old brother of beating her and called the cops.
-Stole many of my valuable possessions and pawned them.
-Totaled my car.

These are the only things I can recollect off hand but I think it gives you a clear idea of what I’m dealing with.

It was nice having her out of the house during the winter when she was court ordered to attend rehab. But it was fairly obvious when I met her probation officer that she was under the impression that my sister was a angel and was living in a broken home, I felt like pointing at my suburban upper class house and asking if it looked like a project. Apparently while in rehab my sister claimed I was the source of her anguish which I find remarkable since I utter and completely ceased to speak or even recognize her in the months following up to her admittance to rehab.

Since she’s been back I’ve continued to literally act as if she doesn’t exist but she has taken the opportunity to walk all over me to the point it’s becoming unbearable. When I ask my father to do something he asks me, “what do you want me to do?” I’ve thought about living on the streets or even taking my chances in the wilderness. I’m tempted to fight fire with fire and am fairly certain I could beat her at her own game but I would imagine I’d feel morally desensitized after wards.

So that’s my rant, like I said I’m doing the best I can to get on my own feet and get out of here but it’s torture while I do. If anyone has been in a situation like mine and found a means with dealing with it please let me know. Obviously I’m looking for a non-violent solution regardless of the good a smack upside the head would do her. I apologize for the length, I was trying to make it clear that this just wasn’t sibling rivalry and if I just said my sister is crazy it wouldn’t do me any justice. Thank you for hearing my case.

Can you help me with my sister issue?

My older sister is approaching 40 at breakneck speed, has never married, and has only had one long-term serious relationship. She lives with my parents and is awaiting acceptance to a doctoral program at a local school. She’s attractive, intelligent and articulate, although somewhat immature with her “shock-politics” (calling herself a Socialist-Marxist and supporting mandatory government curbing of populations by any means).

The real problem is that she is “dating” a married man who’s a recovering alcoholic, but successful and well-off. She talks of his wife as “needy,” “clingy” and (ironically) “suspicious.” She broke it off briefly while he was abroad, but as soon as he returned they got back together . . . but now they’re apart again.

How can I make her see how wrong this situation is? She insists that, at her age, all “prospects” are married, divorced or losers living with their parents (ahem), and she won’t take me seriously because I met my love online, which she doesn’t approve of.

Margo, this relationship has caused her to seek medical attention, and the doc who prescribed her antidepressant told her it’s best for her to move on. How can I help her? She’s my only sibling.
