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.

I have 2 sisters like that too Belle, one did die and the other one is only in her 40's but she looks older than 60. It's a terrible disease! I know it's hard not to take it personal, but they are lost to the alcohol and drugs until they can climb out of that hole that has swallowed them. The best we can do is pray for them, and I do all the time. God bless your poor sister.🥀🙏🏼

Peaches, my heart is breaking, knowing that it has come to this. I hope she can find the help she needs. This is very hard for her and us. Somehow we have to manage to help her.
