I Believe Family Is Very Important

I dont usually write my real life experiences here. But for this one time I need to talk.

My sister is going to a rehab/ nursing facility on Friday. She is an alcoholic and has been for most of her adult life. During this period I feel like I lost her. The sister I once had is no longer there mentally. She has stolen from this entire family to support her habits. Sentimental things can never be replaced. Even the Mothers right my mom gave her off her finger, on her death bed was pawned for drinking. I honestly dont know how to forgive here for things she has done to us.

The doctor told her that she would not live one more year living as she does. I dont know if she will stay in rehab or if she can even do it at this point. Sometimes I feel death would be better. God forgive me.

Your anger is well founded, and has to be acknowledged !
The problem when you have an addiction though, is that your mind is no longer your own !
It lives, breathes and serves only your habit.
You're right to feel angry !
And if she completes rehab, you'll have the chance to tell her so !

Thank you, I had to cut her completely out of my life years ago. I want this so much for her. I want to once again be able to tell her I love her and I do miss the woman she once was!
