My sister has been using Meth for about 8 months now and came crawling home to my parents house not because she wants help but b/c she has become paranoid that people are after her and her husband. When my mother and I tried to talk to her she just kept giving us half thoughts and sentences. She asked my father if he was recording her conversation and also has been standing in corners and mumbling to herself.
She described to me a day that she says she isn't sure actually happened (a whole day with her looking down on herself from above). Has anyone ever heard of this 'third person' view from using Meth?
Are we being enablers by letting her come home when she is only paranoid and not looking for help to stop the Meth? Any advise on what we should do whenever she comes around? My parents are afraid to let her stay with them b/c they have her 14 yr. old daughter living with them and are afraid for her to see her like that b/c she doesn't know her mother is using. I keep tellig them that it is better than her being with her dealer husband. Is that correct or pointless until she is ready for help???
Please help me understand what I can do to support her but not enable her at the same time. I know this was a long message but this is my first time posting an have a ton of questions. This just scratched the surface.
