Does anyone else have that one family member?

Who only calls when they need money and it’s at least once a month or more?

I always wait for Sundays because at least twice a month my sister-in-law calls asking to be sent money. Always on a Sunday.

She always says she has no money for food or clothes, but her Instagram account says otherwise

My sister. I have spoken of her many times here on SW. She had a good life or so I thought at the time. She left her family, the fact that her drinking surfaced. Before we found out how bad the drinking was she had borrowed thousands of dollars from us. She was stealing from her patients. She lost job after job. It was always money from us. Years went by and she was practically homeless. She died while i had to stand beside her and watch.

Some people cant be helped.

@Strongtea thank you. There were so many years in the making that I feel that death was a relief.
