thoughts and prayers (seriously), no children impacted fortunately, just her two brothers and one sister. She does have a good soul, but the addict in her is too strong. My older sister has tried with all of her patience and might to deal w/ her, and even went out to Seattle (along w/ a long time friend of the my alcoholic sister) and helped her move back to MO.
But no help from the friend since the move. We were kind of hoping that perhaps the friend might know of resources and such (AA, etc.), but nothing. A disappointment. At least we got an apartment (and am wondering if she'll be able to live by herself, at least my older brother is somewhat close to her new place).
Again, thank you for your thoughts and prayers. I have dealt w/ alcoholics quite a bit (since my SO works in bars, restaurants, etc.) so we're somewhat used to it, but dealing w/ drunk family family members is even harder, it seems (the emotional links). But you can't get yourself into a lather, and get yourself into a place where you can't help anyone either, thus I reassure my older sister constantly, and give her advise and help when I can (and her husband does too).
