 This is my first time here. Thank you so much for the insight. My sister is a meth addict and my parents are having a hard time letting her go. She's 26 with a son and they finally kicked her out of their house 2 months ago. I took her son from her and he is now living at his dad's. One day she says she's serious about getting into a rehab program and the next she has an excuse why she can't. Like she doesn't have a car because my parents finally took it away...etc. The last few weeks they have started letting her back to wash clothes and visit with her son. My dad sent money with my other sister to take her out to eat and get her some toiletries. My parents and I don't see eye to eye. She's not allowed at my house (I don't want her around my kids). I don't know if I'm being to hard because I think she needs to do things for herself. She knows where to get help if she wants it. I don't think my mom should be picking her up, taking her to court and out to eat. They don't consider these things enabling, is it? I understand a parents need to protect their children, but they have been protecting her too long. She has been using more on than off for around 9 years. They didn't really want to know. They still don't really want to deal with it. They'd rather believe all her stories about how she helps all these children in a drug filled enviroment.

Thank you for allowing me to get some of this off my chest. Please let me know what you think.
