It's doubtful that anyone with a drug addiction would listen to you. You might suggest N.A., Narcotics Anonymous. Otherwise, your confrontation might make the situation even worse. Some people have to learn the hard way, or through what is known as "tough love".

opportunities are high exceptionally sturdy that if all your brothers abused her then they are going to likely sexually abuse their very own infants. somebody has to interrupt the circle and the abuse from persevering with on perpetually. yet you're able to be arranged which you would be stated as a liar and all people WILL deny all of it. you're able to lose your total family participants by way of stirring all of it up. this isn't to late to enable each and all the grotesque out so as that some can heal. Supposedly sexual abuse has greater to do with having administration over yet somebody else, than it does with the act of intercourse. in spite of! Your brothers at the instant are not sturdy men, they did some thing morally and in my view disgusting and that they should pay for it and arise to it. Your sister's self-worth difficulty is coming from duvet, questioning she might have carried out some thing to ask for it, or that she could no longer end it, besides the shown fact that it became no longer her fault in any respect. She desires to heal.

I wonder if they are aware you know? If not, as a first step just make them aware you know (and do not let them tell you they are not if you definitely know). I would go no further than that for the first stage, at least they have someone they can approach to talk about it if they want. I then think you need to get professional literature and advice yourself about how to take this a stage further, with the greatest respect I don't think any of us here can give you that advice because we do not know the situation, but you need guidance and back up yourself. I wish you good luck.

Very carefully. If you value this person then it needs to be non-confrontational, calm, quiet, logical, keeping emotions to the minimum. Otherwise they will feel threatened and defensive and they will defend themselves against you emotionally. All you need them to know is that you know what they're doing and that you are there for them when they need you. People who misuse drugs will only change when they are ready to and that may not be the right time for them because its the right time for you.

tell them straight out....make them listen. Or you could "Baker Act" their @ss, but you have to be a family member. Meaning, the police have the right to arrest and institutionalize the drug used for 72 hrs for evaluation....if after the 72 hrs they find the drug user to be an addict they can then institutionalize the user with the families consent. (this is only if the user is being violent and a threat to society and the family)

You can expect denial and the person to reject the idea if you do this alone. Generally, an intervention is done with several friends and family members with a professional mediator if any success is to be achieved. You do not want to permanently alienate the user if you want to help them with the problem.

Just talk to them, thats all you can do. Don't corner them, this will make them upset and don't do it in front of anyone. If they are real bad on drugs make sure you are safe when you talk. Make sure you can get to an exit quick b/c some people act crazy if they are on drugs, even if you don't think they will do anything.
