My story is pretty long. I am not a parent, but I am a loving sister and an aunt. My sister has been on a downward spiral for years do to drinking. Both of our parents were heroin addicts father died of mysterious circumstances in hotel he was also H I V positive. Mother got clean hated her married a man who robbed our home due to his own drug addictions. My grandmother raised us, and she was the most amazing woman I have ever met. She passed away of cancer 7/7/12. Due to my mothers hate for her family she refused to sign the papers to have my nana creamated she sat in the morgue for 35 days. My sister has tried her best with my nephew, private school, moving you name it she has done it. My sister is not innocent either she has been to jail a few times for forgery and she is currently serving a 17 day sentence for a DUI. My nephew is a liar thief I am sure he is using drugs and involved in gang activity arrested several times for hopping the subway. I have tried everything I am always the last man standing trying to hold everything together, I AM BREAKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My nephew was supposed to show up to court never went now I am out 700 big ones. He is avoiding me like the plague. I have always been hardworking no real trouble. Of course I was a crazy teen but never into drinking or heavy narcotics. My nephew is 19 we have talked until I became constipated( LOL a lil humor can't hurt). He just does not get it and I am tired
