 Question by sarah d: One of my sisters has been an alcoholic/drug addict for years. She’s known for blaming all her problems on..?
anyone other than herself, and is very unappreciative when people help her. she had been clean from alcohol and drugs for about 6 months and was getting along with everyone in the family, but she’s drinknig again for over a year. She also has serious anger issues.
I hadn’t seen her for 11 years, and didn’t care to, I had seen her abuse her kids, tell my mother she didn’t care if my mother lived or died (as my mother cried uncontrolllably) wihtout batting an eyelash. When she is upset, though, she’ll cry and cry and say how nobody helps her…
She ‘s 6 years older than me, she’s almost 40 now and is still blaming her drug addiction on how she was treated by our family…she mostly blames it all on our mother b/c my mother wan’t there for her.
She also lost all 5 of her kids b/c she was a crystal meth addict.
My mother has sent her over 1000 dollars over the past few years to help her with rent, etc. My mother also sent her baby cribs, strollers, etc., over the past 8 years when she gave birth to her kids (100s of miles away from my mother).My sister never thanked my mother for any of this.
My mother works FT…she’s in her 70s, she’s worked hard all her life, most of the time as a single mother. she had 7 kids, and has struggled for years. She also had health issues over the years, while working FT,. as a single mother. About 10 years ago, she was finally in a good financial situation (b/c she got a good-paying job and low income housing) , after living in poverty for decades. She never misses a day of work, is never late.
My question is, should my mother feel obligated to visit my sister when she is in the area where my sister lives? (they’re about a 2 hour drive from eachother). My mother visits the area about once every 2 years…My sister has never made the dirve to visit my mother.
My sister freaked out (yelling and screaming) when she found out my mother was in the area recently and didn’t visit her….
I just want to know outside opinions…should my mother make an effort to see my sister, her daughter, when she’s in the area, since they haven’t seen eachother for 2 years….?
Or does all the stuff i mentioned above give my mother reason not to visit her daughter?
P.S. A couple months ago, b/f my mother’s visit, my sister called my mother up, drunk, yelling at her for being a really bad mother.

Answer by composer4life15 mmm sounds a bit of a problem, and your sister does seem to have a few problems of her own, and that is the reason why I think your mother and yourself for that matter should see her, as although your sister does seem to be having problems she needs your help, and family can help people. Surely, your sister can be rational enough to have a calm conversation with you and your mum, what you need to do is sit her down and talk how you feel, say that you want to help and to do that that she needs to co operate and respect you and your mum, and then you’ll respect her.
If she won’t listen to that calmly, then maybe it is for the best for you two, to part ways, make sure she understands that you do care about her, but her attitude towards you isn’t fair and is upsetting you and your mum, and if she doesn’t cooperate and change then she can’t be part of your new family. Make sure she understands that and then let her decide.
Hope this helps
Hope things get better with your sister

 My grandpa died when I was 20. I talked to him for two hours on the phone the day he died. He was my best friend, and my youngest aunt said his last words were “get Jason he can help”. I’ve never met my father, and I hear he is a piece of work. I called my grandmother on that side of the family and she told me she is an 80 year old blind woman and wanted to be left alone.
I do love my grandmother on my mom’s side, and my real mom died 5 years ago. I was adopted by my oldest aunt. So I know a lot about loss. I’m just wondering how people feel about losing most of their family before they are even 32? I turn 32 next week.
I think of historical figures like George Washington who was given an estate at the young age of 17 because both his father and uncle died in their 40′s. I’m sure he was a strong person that was able to lead not only his family, but troops, and eventually go against the greatest empire.
What are your thoughts on loss? I think the most inspirational book I read on this topic was ‘Why Bad Things Happen to Good People’ by Harold S. Kushner. But sometimes I feel little solace anyway. I wrote my grandma a letter last week that she read. My meth addicted uncle won’t let me visit her because he calls the cops since I turned him in for abusing her. And she supported him because that is her way when the department of aging came to check on her.
How do you deal with loss?

 A friend of mine is suffering from it and I want to help him realize how alcohol affects him. I am planning to tell him to enter an alcohol rehab center to curb his problem.

 I am doing a English presentation about Crystal Meth. I am interested on people’s ideas and thoughts about crystal meth. If you guys were pressured with Crystal Meth, would you ever do it? Meth is the worst drug, but lots of people still do it…..what would you do in this position?
