Do you have any idea if your parents have entertained the thought of just adopting the baby from her? It would probably be the best thing that can happen to that little boy, and you guys would know that he is safe and in a stable environment.

I wish my sister was dead. What the fuck is wrong with me.

There is nothing wrong with you. Think about how much simpler your family life would be if she were to die. I'm not saying to do anything to hurt her, but talk to your folks about them adopting the little guy. Then the sister would be free to go out and OD or whatever she wants to do.

Thank you for replying.

I believe my mother has thought of doing just that, but it hasn't gone farther than just a thought...I think my sister wouldn't go for it. Or at least she wouldn't admit that she can't handle her baby. But I will talk to my mother about it, that will be our last resort I think.

Last resort would be to call CPS when she isn't keeping the child in a livable condition/situation. Then CPS will try to foster the child with a family member, which would be you guys. They'll make her jump through hoops, and if she doesn't comply, they'll basically make her go the adoption route.

Her coming home late when she was in high school being completely wasted and fighting with one of her boyfriends because he wanted to leave and she wouldn't let me.

Wait.....

Don't know what state you are in, but if it were me I would report her to child protective services. She is a mother but not a mom, and she is putting her son in danger. All of the CPS that I've ever heard of will let you report anonymously. It sucks to be in the position of doing that, and it will make her angry/hate you if she finds out, but it may get her the help she needs. Good luck!

My family situation was pretty shitty as well. Your sister, as much as I shouldn't judge, but I'm going to because it just pisses me off to see her acting so selfish, needs a serious reality check. I have a cousin who lived with us that acted somewhat similar. I still hope he dies. But anyway, someone needs to sit her down and put the thumb down. And don't let her leave until she hears the cold, hard truth.

I am going to go the route of playing the devils advocate here.

All your complaints are from the past, what is she doing now to be such a burden other then still living there? Maybe she's being awful to all of you because all you do is complain about her. Maybe giving her the benefit of the doubt and being supportive would help everyone's living conditions.
