I just got chewed out by my sister for not taking her to buy drugs. Apparently that makes me a shitty sister. I know she is only being a b**** because she is an addict but it is pissing me off. She just moved back into the house 4 days ago (my dad's house, I have been here since my ex and I split up) She has cussed me out because I wouldn't let her take the car somewhere (she has no insurance) and because I won't take her to buy drugs. Our dad is a deputy and paying for the house and the cars. I find it highly disrespectful for her to do the sh*t she does. One of the last times she came over she threw a can of Pillsbury biscuit dough at my head which flew over DD's head in the process. I have just about had it with her bullsh*t!
Vent over....
So sorry for you! I have also loved people through addiction, and it just sucks!! So frustrating the lengths they will go, the selfishness, and their excuses and manipulations. You are so doing the right thing though. It just stinks that your dad won't set some boundaries about her being there. Really, you and your dd should not be subjected to this, and neither should he. She needs to nurture her addiction somewhere else until she gets serious about getting into recovery.
How can you help your dad have it in him to do what is right for her and stop enabling her?
Meth is her drug of choice....

Do you know her addiction? I know what it's like from both sides. I have been the addict doing anything to get another fix and seriously some crazy crap to get a fix. I've also dealt with the struggles of loving and livin with an addict it's hard just protect your child from her an hopefully she can wake up and see what her life is now

I tell him almost everything she does... When I feel it is a direct disregard for his rules I tell him. If she leaves to go do something I don't say anything because it is not 100% proven that she is out getting high, she probably is but I cannot prove it at the moment. He knows she is an addict and still uses. As far as we know, she doesn't do it at the house (that is also only because we haven't proven that she does). I told him when she threw things at me, I told him when she yelled at my DD, I told him she wanted me to take her to buy drugs, and I told him she was trying to take the car.

I am soooo sorry about your brother. That is one thing I am terrified of, especially since she lives here. I said in a PP that we don't know for sure that she uses while here, but it is not unlikely, and I am afraid I will wake up one day and find her dead. Thank you for the encouraging words though.
Quoting wubbunny420:My baby brother overdosed on drugs a few weeks ago. Your a good sister for not taking her and she may not think so but you are doing whats right
I think my husband's a sociopath
Why inflict this silly cosmetic pain on a baby!?!
