[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 694335, member: 20051"] Copa, Wow. That hurt. That is my sister. Her D.O.C. is heroin. When she is in jail or prison she is a "model prisoner." She works her prison job, she goes to meetings, she says she is taking a G.E.D. class. She is sweet and generous and she helps other prisoners even though they take advantage of her. She has never been violent. Her crimes are all shoplifting and petty theft and parole/probation violations. ...but... she is so broken. So, so broken. She doesn't last more than a few weeks after release before she relapses. I just don't think, in her heart, she believes that she deserves anything better. It's soul crushing. I wish she could see the good things in her that other people see. I wish there was something someone could do to make her see that she deserves so much better. I want to be angry at her for giving up on herself and, in turn, giving up on her kids, but I can't. When I picture her in my mind all I can think is, "I'm sorry." [/QUOTE]
