My heroin addict sister - time to go NC?

[Mrsharrison]

She is in her late 30s, four years older than me and an addict for ten years. Three years ago she stole money off our dad when he was on his deathbed, not huge amounts. I didn't tell my mum, maybe I should have but mum had so much to cope with.

Three weeks ago mum was rushed to hospital and been there ever since, she may b there sometime. I have found out sis has stolen around £300 from our mum in this time.

Should I expose her to the rest of the family and end all contact with her? What would you do?

I'm going to speak to our calmer brother
go on phone him now and see what he is saying.

Hi, have phoned older brother ans filled him in. He was surprisingly calm about her addiction and said he'd known for a while. He is angry about mum and wants me to call bank first thing. He is picking me up after work and we are both going round there to confront her. She doesn't go out in evenings so we know she will be in. No doubt skank will b there but he wont want to take on my brother. Brother says he will bodily throw him out. Am so relieved to share this. There is so much she has done and I'm so tired of it. Thanks for you advice.

I am so glad that you have your brother on board -

Good on you. You are doing the right thing.

Your sister has stolen from her dying father and is stealing from her sickly mother, that's awful behaviour. A shock and some hard love may be what she needs to get straight.

She needs to want to get better or it won't stick.

Thinking positive thoughts for you all!
