Hi I'm new to online chat groups but I really need some where to talk.
My 36 year old sister has been a meth addict for over 15 years. She has experienced devastating trauma in her life and I believe has severe ptsd and depression. Our dad took care of her and enabled her and he passed away 2 months ago. Her abusive boyfriend left her living out of car. She asked for help and sleeps then takes off and comes back. Can't force her.
Welcome! I am sorry to hear about your sister, but I am glad to hear you realize that you "can't force her." I can't even tell you how long it took me to realize that. I encourage you to start attending meetings. There are 3 a week on this site or you could find a face-to-face meeting near you. I learned a lot in meetings. Hope to see you there 🙂
I am so sorry to hear about your sister. I myself have four siblings that are addicts and understand just how difficult it is to love someone who suffers from this disease. For the longest time I felt like I was a hamster in a wheel of insanity. I would always find myself being drawn into unnecessary drama. At one point, I set up the upper part of my apartment for my sister and her daughter to move into to find out she was actively using and things were falling apart with her relationship because of it. My denial was so strong! It must be so hard for you to have your sister in and out of your home constantly. Know that you are not alone and that so many others have been through similar situations. I hope you start going to some meetings; attending meetings has turned my life around in so many ways!
