Drug Addict Sister, I don’t feel safe living at home!?
Question by p??? ?????s: Drug Addict Sister, I don’t feel safe living at home!?
I feel like I’ve hit my limit. I’m going to be 18 in a month. She disrespects everyone. She steals everyone’s money. And the worst part about it is, she was a thief, a liar, and a nasty person before she became an addict. I believe she is burnt out. She is belligerent toward everyone. She behaves mentally. I keep talking to my dad about how it is hurting us all that she is living with us and it is really disruptive to my education and well being, as long as my little sisters. She hit my little sister yesterday, and she wont go to school (she was supposed to be starting this week). She wont even do simple things that my mom asks her to do (like the dishes) and the other day I overheard her say to my mom “I don’t care if you’re dead! I’ll kill you and go to jail for life!”
She’s 23. I keep trying to tell my dad that she’s burnt out but he wont listen and thinks she will get better, when really things are getting worse every day. I want to move out, but I have nowhere to go. I don’t feel safe living at home….
Some please… help me…

1 800 784 6776. National Drug/Alcohol Abuse Hotline. Use it well.
First: Talk to your parents. Sit them down and tell them clearly and firmly your beliefs and your observations. State that she is not getting better, but worse, and that her problem is taking a toll on all of you. Bring your sisters into it, talk about their health. Put into motion a plan in which there are locks on doors, passwords on computers, and protection on money/wallets.
Second: Get help from someone at school or outside your family. See if you can set up a connection with a social/drug worker or an abuse counsellor in your area. Constant, concentrated help makes all the difference.
Third: See about your eighteenth birthday. I’m not an expert on all the benefits being an adult entails, but I think that having “someone who is poses a threat or danger to themself or others” removed from theri vicinity is one of them.
Stay strong.
