26 years old, 1 DUI, 3 or 4 drunk in public charges, 1 11550 (under the influence of a controlled substance), 1 car totaled, multiple fights, 4 iPhones lost/destroyed because of it all, no HS diploma, no GED, no job..

I just got back with my dad from picking her up from her boyfriends house, completely wasted, incoherent, hysterical. She called my mom, told her 'someone was threatening her with a knife', my mom called my dad, him and I went up there, she got in the car and made it two blocks before jumping out because my dad was angry and telling her she needs to stop this shit. Right now she's likely getting arrested and going to jail.

Two days ago, a cop came to our house and arrested her for a warrant. She was supposed to go to DIU classes that she never attended. Let her out a day later on OR.

Previous antics;

-Driving her car directly off a 9' embankment into a field, missing a telephone pole by 6' (would have been killed, no doubt about it), calling me 2 town over in the middle of the night to pick her up from a strangers house she met while walking to a gas station (because she left her phone, purse, and even her fucking shoes behind in the car), my girlfriend and I picked her up and she was so fucked up she couldn't even remember where her car was, it took us 45 minutes to finally find it. The inside was completely covered in mud and the front dash was basically detached from the rest of the car, wouldn't start, so we called a tow truck, waited an hour and a half for it to arrive (in the rain), I was so pissed I sat outside the car in the rain just so I didn't have to look at her or speak to her. Tow truck arrives and doesn't have the equipment to get it out of the ditch, we would have had to wait another 3 or 4 hours for a different truck to get there, I said fuck that and we left.

-Middle of the night, I was asleep on the couch, she came in, completely hammered again, and started hitting the keyboard on my computer hard enough to wake me up, I told her to calm down, we ended up getting into an argument and she got physical, I called the cops, they gave her the choice to go to jail for the night or go to a friends house, she got some of her stuff and went to a friends house. 5 hours later, she came back, just as fucked up and did the exact same thing again. This time I woke up and it got physical again, she tore my shirt off my body and hit me in the face, I picked her up and dragged her outside, called the cops again, same two guys came back and took her to jail. She spent 5 days in jail, came back and gave me some half assed apology I knew she didn't mean.

-11am, I'm on the computer, she wakes up, can't find something, I think it was her cigarettes, tears the house apart looking for them while getting more and more pissed off each passing minute, after long enough, I finally can't take it anymore, tell her to calm the fuck down, that lit the fuse, and again we were at it. She hit me in the face and spit on my face, I threw her the fuck out, again. I forget how that ended.. I think she just left..

-Crashed her car while drunk, totaled it, right after my dad put money into it to replace the damage she did to it when she crashed into that field, $500+, he paid for and fixed it himself and she crashed it less than a month later..

Oh yeah..

-She came home absolutely plastered, again, with a previous boyfriend, he asked us to take her because he couldn't deal with her, she didn't want to leave, this all happened right in front of our apartment complex in the middle of the night. She kicked his dash and broke off his gear shift so he couldn't leave, he had to leave his vehicle there and call someone to come get him. She was hysterical, again, came inside, kept it up for another 30 minutes, then passed out. When asked about it the next morning, she said she didn't remember any of it..


..and that's just scratching the surface..

What is the right course of action to take? I have no idea what to do about this, otherwise I wouldn't be posting about it on this forum, it's really pretty damn embarrassing..

Anyone ever dealt with a person like this before?
 
My other sister was up with her when they were questioning her, she just got back and told me she tested positive for methamphetamine

That's another 11550..
 
The best thing anyone can do for her is nothing at all. Quit bailing her out of problems. Hopefully she hits bottom and survives, some do, some dont. I've lost friends and family members to drugs and alcohol. Mother in law to scripts n booze, choked on her own puke. 2 of my friends to heroin. But theres also the ones who got their shit together and moved on with a healthy life. Just hope she falls into the second category! Good luck though, theres no easy answers.
 
You have to be their for her bcuz your her brother no matter what,but she's grown,and she has to understand living a life like that theirs not a good outcome at all.Too much shit going on already with your pops,and to have your sister wilding out like that doesn't make the shit any better.You gotta sit her down,and make sure that she is sober,and tell her that you care about her,and to get a grip on her life if she wants it,bcuz how fast she's living,she could possibly kill herself or somebody might end up killing her,and I know you she doesn't want that,but you can't stand by and do nothing,bcuz I'm sure it's alot of family members who did the same thing,and before they knew it,their loved one had died,and thats when they wished that they could have done something to help that person,you don't want that to happend.If it's that bad man,get her ass to rehab.
 
is she hot?

is this really necessary?

pisses me off when people post stupid shit for absolutely no reason.

my sister is in the same boat here, pill head, constantly starting shit with family and many of the same things you have described. She has tried getting on the right track but its a long road to take and she has constantly fallen back in the same crowd, i still havent talked to her in over 7 years and all i can
do is hope she helps herself as our help is long gone.

its a harsh way to take it but telling her to leave and to leave you guys alone and that you want nothing to do with her lifestyle might help her straighten shit out.
 
You should have a intervention like on tv and tell her if she keeps drinking noone will help her with shit anymore

One has to want to go to rehab. In this instance, I agree with supchaka. The time for nice is past, and "tough love" is the only sort that will work now. Jmo. cn
 
Pada, she needs a stretch in Jail that is upwards of a year. For real. Either that, or she's going to end up dead.
 
is she hot?

imagine your sitting in a room full of people discusssing various topics and then all of a sudden some fool jumps up and says some ridiculously embarassing/stupid shi totally irrevelant to anyones discussions, well in real life people see you for what you are and your vulnerable in a situation like that. Now on the internet you hide behind some username posting stupid shit cause you feel powerful that you can say anything and not have to give 2 fucks about it cause well nobody knows you. why do you post such stupid shit?


i want you to imagine being in the hospital at deaths door and you decide to reminisce about your past and then the days of when you grew mj and chatted on rollitup, now think back to all that stupid, annoying, inconsiderate, childish shit you have posted, you should be greatly ashamed of yourself, if i were you id go to confession and tell the pastor "im a fool that posts on the internet of random stupid shit totally irrevelant to many discussions". It doesnt matter if your some 45yro man that has accomplished many things as at the end of the day you'll be cooped inside your head hiding the information of what you do on your free time on the inernet, cause well most everybody in real life would laugh at you.

why be that man leading a secret double life as a lifeless troll? because it pleases your "darker sides" ego? grow up

Are you unfamiliar with our Bucky? He simply delights in well-placed crassness. Don't take it seriously, is my advice. cn

That's so original! Like that's not the first thing everyone thought. Which then made it unfunny. But some slow person will still say it anyway.

Hey, calm down guys...It's Buck...He can't control it, he has his trollfingers on.
 
I agree, I think she needs to be forced into sobriety to really reflect on her life.. That won't happen if she has no reason not to..

She manipulates guys into supporting her, when that dissolves, as it inevitably does, she moves onto the next one.. She's a poor judge of character as well, which only seems to compound the problem, she hooks up with drug dealers, criminals, gang members, one of her ex's killed himself by OD'ing on meth a couple years ago.. Said he was in the Mexican mafia.. I thought she quit using meth a year ago, I guess not...

I appreciate everyones opinion, thanks guys

Correction that "room full of people" is actually only him..
 
Way to steal my thunder with your prompt post...That's it...You just made the 'list'. *Angrily shaking fist*

List is not an option ... only cAPSIZE. cn

no job, no nothing and your parents PAY her way through life?THAT is the only reason this continues. besides minor infractions with the law, she has NO REASON to quit drinking. my brother is a severe alcohol and the WORST PART about his habit is that he's highly functioning. Unlike your sister, mommy and daddy aren't there to bail him out of anything, or provide him shelter, food, a car, etc. He'll wake up with shakes, drink vodka to subdue the withdrawal and sneak booze all day at work. he detoxed a few months ago cuz if he wouldve gone cold turkey on the solo tip he would've died from withdrawal no question about it. went 2 rehab twice and relapsed. But he's in AZ and my family is in NH. There's nothing we can nor should do. I do have a bone to pick with his fiance though, who's dead-set on marrying him. They met as his alcoholism was on the rise...she's NEVER KNOWN WHO HE IS AS A HIMSELF, SOBER....NOR HAS HE, WITH HER

Well, you guys DO live next to SP, there's a lot of that going around over there. She needs forced sobriety, yes, and some time alone would give her time to reflect on what her life has become.
