Love
by: Christina

I dont feel like kicking her out would be the right thing to do. I wouldn't be able to live with my decision if we decided to kick her out of the house and have something happen to her. I've been through this situation with my own sister. It was almost as if she was an empty shell. Nothing I said to her seemed to get through. There was emptiness in her eyes. What I did was be with her every single day. Missing work at times. Showing her as much love as I possibly could. We removed all the bad friends in her life and kept her close to family. We had her meet with our priest so that she could open up and tell him things that maybe she couldn't tell us. Within a month I noticed a major difference. I feel like I have my sister back. Be there for her. As hard as it is. As hard as you just want to scream at her and shake her telling her to WAKE UP! It will click in her head. It's just going to take time. Peace be with you and your family. Jesus Loves

Maybe You Should
by: Anonymous

It seems like you've done everything else possible thus far so maybe its time you as a family show you're not going to tolerate her behaviour any longer, and unless she commits to a life of sobriety she's out. As difficult as it may be, showing that kind of tough love can in the end be the best thing you can do, because it may give your sister the wake up call she needs. Best of luck
