OT my sister

Hi every one. My poor sister has a drug problem with script drugs she is servialy mental ill with depresion. She has been taking every pill she can find. She has been living with her boyfriend for over 4 yrs and he has been dealing with them. He does not like me because I feel that my Sister could do better then drinking and getting stoned and doing nothing. She is so parinoid about every thing. Her daughter has been living with me. Today her boyfriend told us to come get her. She is on my couch asleep. Friday the paramedics were called because she had taken 90% of her medication. So now she is with me. She literalley has no life outside of drugs. I am going to be praying and putting her name in the Temple and have my daughter fast for her. Thanks for listining. Love Saralan

That's a tough one Saralan. My sister is an alcoholic and is now living with me so in one very small way I can feel what you are going through. It's hard to know how to help someone when they don't want any help. I hate that my young children are being subjected to my sister's influence. I hate that my sister has to live with these demons and doesn't want to change. I find comfort in knowing that at least my sister isn't homeless. I find comfort knowing that at least I know where my sister is and that she's safe. I know this post is about your sister but I just thought I would add my two cents so you would know that this thing happens in many good LDS homes. Satan is soooo evil and has far too much control. I don't know what kind of advice to give you. It sounds like you're doing the best you can. Your sister may become really, really ugly and hateful while she's coming off her drugs. But you're going to have to hide everything from her that you can. Hide all the meds in your house, both prescription and over the counter things. It just might save her life. Good luck with dealing with this. - Melody

Mellode, Thanks it does make feel so good, that someone else understands. Satan is so powerfull. He strugles to sirvie(sp) in rightous homes. I will try and strenghthen my just a little more. Love Saralan

I do know what you are going through. My step-brother is an alcholic and drug addict. And he refuses to give it up. All you can do is pray and fast and hope for the best. You can't convince her to clean up if the boyfriend and your sister don't see the problem. If push comes to shove, the next time, you can have your sister committed the next time she OD's and see if she will listen to reason once she gets clean and sober. I will say a prayer for you and your family. Donna
