[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 684684, member: 1550"] As hard as it is to watch, my advice is that this is beyond what you can do anything about...focus on your kids and, if you have one, your significant other. Your mother in my opinion is making a foolish mistake which hurts your sister by bringing your adult brother's drug lifestyle into her house. No wonder Sis is a mess. I can only imagine what she sees. From a childs point of view, it ,in my opinion, causes a parent a lot of respect points if they see us being yanked around by an adult big time drug abuser, even if the person is a sibling or son. But you have no power to make your mother show your brother the door. You cant force your brother to go for help to quit. You have no legal rights to get help for your sister either.You have no power over anyone but yourself and your own minor aged children. Because I'm sure you've talked about this with your mother, you must realize that, in her house, she will do what she wants, no matter what you say. I hope you can learn to detach with love from all of them. Other adults are not within our power to change. Take care of you and yours...and please dont stress trying to fix things that are out of your power. Sometimes all we can do is to let go of our loved ones bad situations, and simply hope for the best. We cant change or fix them as much as want to. Take care. [/QUOTE]
