losing my sister

A sticky situation. It isn't your fault, you were trying to be a good sister. Your sister is in a lot of trouble, and the best thing you can do is find maybe a rehab program to help her out.

Hmm well I have a Brother that is some what like your sister. He was doing drugs since 7th grade, a shame really, and I used to blae my self but then i realized I didn't make the decisions. I'm not saying that covering for your sister was right, nor wrong, but you have to let her do what she will with her life, and not get in the way. Like my mother has told me over and over again "sometimes you have to hit rock bottom before you realize you've gone down" I no longer cover for my brother, yet I still love him, being 18 i allow him to live his life, and yes I hate the fact he might not come home one noigh because he is dead for some ungodly reason, but i have to let that be that. Love and let go, the ones we love can't stay forever no matter how much we want them to. My advice is to let her live on, stop covering for her and maybe when she its rock bottom she'll realize she has fallen.

Love ya so much

I agree with Jelly Bean. No one can help your sister unless and untul she wants to help herself. In the meantime I believe you should stop covering for her. By covering, you are acting as an enabler for her continuing substance abuse. If she has to accept responsibility herself and face the consequences of her own actions, that may may help her to see that she needs to change her life.

Im really Sorry that your sister is causing you pain. If your sister get wasted at partys and drives, she should know that she is going to be caught. My advice : Dont follow her foot steps. I am sure that you loved her, and will continue loving her forever no matter what mistakes she makes. And she will always be with you. I hope she gets better!
