My sister is 34, I'm 31. She is a chronic drug user, and shes lost custody of her 2 yr old son. My poor parents now have custody of him, they're in their 60's and i worry about how they're coping with all of this. She abuses them, and child safety dept is NO help at all, telling her that she can have supervised visits with them in charge. My father cries all the time, and is also gets so angry with my mum. Mum is trying to be strong but she gets so tired, too. I have 3 small kids of my own, so any help i can offer them is limited. I have lost my parents, they no longer have time for me or my kids, and if we do get together all we do is discuss HER and her problems. She blames everyone else for her life, she is currently not speaking to me, calls me every name under the sun, basically shes a complete mess. I worry that my dad will have a heart attack and my mother a stroke. Then I'll be left to deal with her. Is there anyone out there in similar circumstances? I feel so sad.

Best thing they could do if legally possible is cut her out of their lives. That may not be possible if she has visitation rights. Since Im probably not much help in this I will give you a number to call. It is the elder abuse hotline and these people will tell you how to protect your parents. You have my sympathy but dont give up on your parents if you can hold out.
I do want to remind you though that your own children need you and you cant be neglecting their needs either while all this is going on. Your first priority is them.
If you suspect elder abuse, neglect, or exploitation, call
1-800-677-1116.

Your parents can go to family court and demand supervised visitation with a police officer so your parents don't have to deal with her.
They can also file a restraining order against her.
Tell them these things along with "you are the only ones who can draw the line here!" It is true. They have to get mad enough to fight for themselves.
Your sister is an addict. You cannot EVER trust ANY addict because all they care about is getting their next fix. Your sister will not straighten out until she realizes that she has a problem and then takes the next step to get help.

I think I like the idea of having someone who will through her off the property if she gets out of hand.
They should record her on video if it's real bad so teh judge can see for himself.
If need be you all can move away where your sister will never find you or get her locked away till she's had plenty of time without drugs.
Good Luck
Hugs

I am a drug addict myself. I have been drug free for over 4 years now. (Thank God). But your sister needs help. Intervention of some sort. It took a short time in prison for me to get the picture. I am now in college, going to become a licensed alcohol and drug counselor. Get her some help, soon. You may not have a sister left to gripe about if someone doesn't act soon. But... She has got to be willing to help herself before you can ever help her.
