[QUOTE="Leah1233, post: 619663, member: 17678"] My sister has a drug addiction. My sister and her children had been living with us (my parents,brother and me) for 10 years (was only meant to be temporary but turned into 10 years) before she left five months ago (without her children) What happened was she left her two children at her friends and never came back. This has happened a couple of times. Her children are living with us. She now wants to come home again. She is pregnant again now. So she will have three children. My mum and I are put in a very difficult situation. I feel very conflicted. I care about my sister, and feel the need to help her. But, I also feel pretty annoyed with her actions. I just don’t know what is the right thing to do. It makes the situation so much more difficult with children involved. She has never stolen from us. She is such a loving and caring person. However, her drug addiction has really changed her. She was doing really well until about a year ago then she relapsed pretty badly. Never did I think she would abandon her children. It just seems she is lost. It is like I have two versions of her in my head and I dont know what is the right one. I just don't how whether coming home will really help her or it would be better if she lived away from home. There seems to be a lot of things to consider. What would be the right thing to do?
