This is coming from a place of care but I really don’t know what else to do.
I have a sister, in her 30s, who has numerous health conditions. She’s unemployed and has been since she was a late teen and is in receipt of PIP for her health.
She is a single parent to my 10 year old DN. She has had partners but no one sticks around for too long as she does put a lot of pressure on them to take care of her. DN has a very active father who has her a lot. Sister will go through periods where she’ll stop contact between DN and her dad briefly but that’s mostly due to her mental health, when she’s more stable, contact resumes.
Sisters health has definitely gotten worse lately and she’s having bouts where she’ll claim to not be able to walk. She also has days when she’s unable to drive safely and tells me how she has passed out while being a passenger. However, she’ll still drive to spite other people if people can’t drop everything to drive her places. She’s also risk driving when she feels like this with my DN in the car. Family members have all tried to speak to her, but she continues to do it in a “well if you can’t help me, I have no choice” kind of way. My parents and I all work full time so can’t just drop it to take her into town etc.
She is very hard work but we all try to help her as much as possible. Who can I speak to regarding her driving? She clearly shouldn’t have a license if there are some days that she can’t drive safely and these are more often than not recently.
Like I said, this is coming from a place of care. She is going to seriously harm herself, my DN or another road user if she has an episode behind the wheel. She is clearly lying about her symptoms to someone as surely one of the many doctors she sees would ask how her condition affects her driving.
