Don't want to drip feed too much but my sister is early 30s with 2 young children, binge drinks most weekends, she's had social workers involved due to past relationships, she's taken coke frequently whilst her children are around, you get the jist.
When she's drunk she invites men over to drink with, gambles lots of money through online gambling, takes drugs etc.
She has a good full time job but is also depressed, she's on anti depressants.
I've tried helping her so many times, she always says she needs help the day after when she's hung over.
I'm always trying to sort out her mess so I gave her a ultimatum and said if she drinks again I'm cutting contact because I need to protect my own mental health, she was drinking again last night and had a man over. I've told her I'm cutting contact.
Any advice?
